There is a mystique to painting with oils – the aim of this one day, intensive course is to show you clearly how to use this exciting and forgiving medium. This is an intensive one day introduction to the basics of oil painting. You will be drawing with charcoal followed by exercises using paints.
You will look at mixing paints, tone, different sorts of paint application and learning about the materials, tools and other equipment needed. It is a very busy day.
If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means PAINT and that voice will be silenced
