What You'll Do

If you purchase a Full Workshop Pass you will learn the basics of mixing colours in oils through a set of simple and easy to follow exercises. You will receive guidance and support throughout the session. The process will be broken into easy to understand stages.

Each stage will begin with a live demonstration that will give you the opportunity to ask questions as you watch me work. I will also be able to use screen-sharing as a way to explain the most important principles colour theory and paint mixing / handling.

After each demonstration you will work on your own painting for a set amount of time. I will be on hand the whole time to help you if you have any trouble. You will ideally set up your webcam to show your painting but it would also be fine to send images to me throughout the session.

We will repeat this process, stage by stage, until you have completed your painting exercises.

We will then finish the session with a Q&A, giving you a chance to share with me and the rest of the class how you found the experience and ask any final questions to help you with oil painting in the future.

How We'll Connect

You can work wherever you feel most comfortable - whether that's your home or your studio. We'll be using Zoom so it would be ideal for you to have a webcam or phone camera so that I can see how your work is progressing but you can just watch and ask questions as you work if you prefer.

I'll be working from my own art studio in Sheffield, UK - with a webcam sharing me and my work, so you can watch the whole process from start to finish.

Topics covered

• Equipment and materials
• Setting up your equipment
• Mixing colours

Materials

If you want to work alongside me you will need to get your materials ready before the session. These are my recommendations*:

Oil Paints:

• Titanium White
• Cadmium Yellow (Hues are fine)
• Venetian / Indian Red
• Ultramarine Blue

Miscellaneous:

• Small canvas or panel (about 12 x 10 inches)
• 2-3 brushes (small to medium size)
• Pencil
• Medium cup
• Medium (oil or solvent etc.)
• Easel
• Paper towel or cleaning rag

*You can check the supporting documents after booking for links to buy these materials.

Notes

The course will be run through Zoom so it's ideal if you can share your work via video with me throughout the session. If this isn't possible (or you aren't comfortable sharing) you will still be able to watch me work and ask questions which is also a great way to learn.

I will be in touch with more details after you sign up. This will help you to get ready for the session in advance and ask any questions.

Info for Watch Pass Holders - £5

If you purchase a Watch Pass you will be able to attend the event live, watch, work alongside and ask general questions but you will not be able to share and receive any feedback on your own work throughout the session.

This is for people who just want to watch rather than paint. It's also perfect for beginners looking to get an idea of how to approachcolour mixing in oils (but not quite confident to share just yet) or for experienced artists who don't need feedback and just want a refresher.
