Class Experience
Our well-loved Oil Painting class is perfect for beginners and intermediate students. Gain confidence in using oil paint to express your ideas through original paintings. We provide a supportive environment, whether you choose a personal photo or observe still-life arrangements. Bring your still-life objects or use ours for inspiration. Students learn layering, color theory, compositional skills, as well as techniques to blend and manipulate paint on canvas. Perfect for beginners or those returning to art.
- Please note your work will take days to dry and can be left in our studio during your course syllabus.
Sample Class Format
- Learn how to prime a canvas, outline your painting, and layer.
- Learn how to blend on the canvas when working wet-in-wet to create values, gradients, or transitions. Oil Painting is a longer process, the paint remains wet for longer, allowing you more time to manipulate your work.
- Demo a range of brushstroke applications, for example how to paint using a dry brush to get more textural effects, which is perfect for highlighting.
- Develop confidence in color mixing and choosing the correct palette for your subject to create mood and tone.
