The Alchemy of Oil Painting

THE ALCHEMY OF OIL PAINTING

Learn the classical techniques and processes of oil painting.

We’ll cover drawing, ground preparation, underpainting and glazes.

Through a series of set projects you’ll gain a better understanding of tone, colour, painting technique and application.

You’ll work from still life, the model and historical material, with scope for personal work and experimentation. Each project will run for a few weeks to allow for more in-depth work.

You’ll learn how to mix and create materials and painting mediums and have the opportunity to try out complementary media like egg tempera.
