Weekend Studio course: Oil Painting for Beginners with Georgia Mallin: 12-13 Aug 2023 (10-5pm)

Come and learn step by step approaches to oil painting. On this weekend course we will cover materials and methods of oil painting such as supports and surfaces, brushes and paint mediums. We will work on colour mixing and ways of constructing images through contrasting tonal values, blocks of colour, line and texture. Much emphasis will be placed on the tactile handling of the paint. We will start by painting simple still life set ups.

Fee: £160 inclusive of art materials.
