Course overview
Have you always wanted to experiment with painting in oil, but you are not really sure where to startor you’ve had some experience but wish to expand your techniques?
The start to this 8-week course focuses on the basics of layering oil paint with a loose expressionist style directly onto the surface without an underlying drawing. We will be using photographs for reference, but the course focus will be primarily on understanding the beauty of oil paints and the extensive versatility they possess.
The course will help build your confidence in further experimentation with oil painting.
Come along and join in the fun with other art-minded people!
