During the course of this workshop we will be using the medium of oils. I will be showing how to mix and blend the colours, how to add light and shade, and guidance on the ideal brush/tools to use including a palette knife. We will be focusing on the study of a photographic reference of Bamburgh Castle, looking at colour and texture in an impressionist style.

 

These workshops are ideal for beginners or for those wishing to brush up on their skills. We will be working on canvas and you will be able to take home the painting that you have produced.
