Oil Painting Basics

Oil Painting Basics

This course has no current classes. Please the waiting list.

Keep it simple! Learn to paint from real objects, not photos. Concentrating on tone, we will paint a few simple, single objects: an apple, a cup, a teapot – or bring your own object. We will use light and shade to give a strong illusion of reality. This will provide a solid foundation for good still-life, portrait or landscape painting.

What to bring

  • Own canvas, palette, brushes and oil paint if you already have them. Otherwise materials can be purchased during the first lesson for $25 this includes painting boards, use of brushes, paints, turps, easels etc
  • Own refreshments and lunch
