Immerse yourself in a week of oil painting. Whether you are completely new to oils or returning after a previous workshop, you will discover new approaches to this versatile medium. With a small group size and individual tuition throughout, all levels are welcome.

Through demonstrations and guided exercises, you will gain confidence in the foundations of oil painting before exploring a range of styles and techniques. Taking inspiration from the French Impressionists and Scottish Colourists alongside more traditional methods, we will investigate how different approaches can create luminosity, depth and atmosphere.

Working from a combination of artist references and observed still life subjects, you will develop your understanding of colour relationships and expressive brushwork. As the week progresses, you will have the opportunity to apply your preferred approach to a subject of your own in a final painting.

With plenty of opportunities to experiment and receive individual guidance throughout the week, advice will also be offered on materials and equipment for those wishing to continue painting at home.
