Have you ever wanted to try your hand at oil painting? Perhaps you have experience in other forms of visual art; watercolour, acrylics, pastels, etc.

For many people oil painting appears a mystery, technically difficult and only for ‘masters’.

Yes, there are different methods of oil painting and techniques that need to be studied and practiced in order to achieve the desired results. However, I believe, most people can learn to oil paint.

This tuition includes the following elements –

• The basics of landscape painting composition
• Learning about the tonal method of oil painting
• Discovering some of the techniques of the Old Masters
• Exploring colours, colour mixing and handling oil paints
• Painting from references vs. your imagination
• How to avoid the common mistakes most amateur artists make
• Experiencing the personal expression and relaxation of creating art

Alternatively, you may want to attend one of my Two-Day Oil Painting Courses, normally held twice a year (Spring and Autumn). See here for more details – COURSES
