Description

The one-day oil painting workshop is designed to equip you with all the essentials to begin your journey in this vibrant medium. You will spend the day creating a still life painting, receiving detailed instruction and support from an experienced tutor.

What can students expect?

During this workshop, your tutor will guide you through a still life painting from a photograph. He will demonstrate every step of the way so that the teaching is as clear as can be. This will cover drawing skills, technical advice on how to use paint thinners and painting mediums and colour mixing. By the end of the day, you will take home a completed still life painting. This will be a fun and interesting workshop with a tutor with years of experience in teaching all levels of painters including beginners. 

This course will be delivered at Stoke Lodge.
