About this Event

This is a Sunday Morning class.

Description

We will explore the fundamentals of oil painting as we work on a sunny Australian landscape and a vibrant seascape.

This workshop is suitable for beginning artists, or those who are in the early stages of working with oil paint. For more experienced artists who normally work in other mediums, this workshop will offer the opportunity to consolidate and extend.

Participants will learn to build a painting in layers – blocking in, moulding, and refining final details. At the completion of the course the student should feel confident about working with oils independently on a project of their own.

07/02/2021: 10am - 1pm
