Oil paints can provide a great sense of luminosity and depth when used effectively.
Working from a colourful ‘kitchen table’ still life, the day will begin with advice on observational sketching and composition. This initial process will inform a tonal underpainting in acrylics, in order to establish a strong sense of light, which we will then work on top of with oil paints.
In-depth demonstrations will be given, focusing on the versatility and flexibility that oil can offer, helping you to build up a rich, vibrant surface with attention to colour, brushwork and consistency of the paint.
Using this methodical approach, you will be able to complete a sustained painting over the course of a single day, and leave with skills and confidence in using oil paint.
