About the workshops
If you have ever wanted to try your hand at the timeless art of oil painting and simply don't know where to start, my painting workshops will help unleash your creativity.
I will guide you step by step to create an expressive landscape oil painting.
My classes are held in North Devon and cover basic traditional techniques and methods, whilst helping you if you feel unsure, anxious or precious about your work.
Sample class content: composition ideas, how to start using a sketch and ground, how to create depth with tone, working from dark to light, muted vs saturated colours, impasto mark marking, letting go of fear and having fun!
