During this course you will be introduced to the basics of oil painting, gaining confidence working with oil paints as you learn through making. The tutor will guide you through three different ways to start a figurative painting, showing you how each process affects the painting's outcome and encouraging you to understand which way fits best with your painting style and personal goals.
This course is beginner friendly, starting with the basics of working in oil paint but also appropriate for those wanting to gain confidence.
All materials are provided but students are encouraged to bring their own brushes if they have them. Please bring a colour photograph that you wish to paint from, keep this simple e.g. a still life or single figure.
