Course Description

This 4 hour workshop for teens will cover the fundamentals of oil painting with a professional artist in a relaxed and supportive environment. Students will explore colour, composition and basic brush and palette knife techniques through small painting studies on canvas. Suitable for all skill levels. Students will receive a thorough introduction into the wonderful world of oil painting. We will look at pigments, binders and mediums as well as colour, composition and various brush techniques. Please note that these small paintings will be wet for a couple of days so it is recommended that students bring a small cardboard box or similar to transport their works in.
