An introductory course for those who have never painted in oils before and for those who want to shift to using oil paints having used acrylics or water-based media.

Students learn to see colour, shape and tone, and to relate these elements together in compositions. This course aims to nurture self-confidence and enjoyment of painting in a stimulating, fun and relaxing environment.

​

We will begin with the basics of organising your palette using a limited colour range, we learn to colour mix and preparation/clean up without using harmful solvents.

​

We will focus on observational painting touching on still life, landscape/urbanscape and portraiture. 

We will look at tone, composition, space, perspective, and colour with progressive developments in these skills.
