Painting with oils will be demystified as you learn the fundamentals of oil painting in this two-day workshop. Students will be guided step-by-step through the process of planning and painting in oil paints and take home your own colour charts and small finished paintings of a simple still life.

You will work from a simple still life, and get a basic introduction to oil painting including:

- How to set up your work area and painting palette and paint surfaces
- How to mix colours
- How to apply oil paints and be introduced to paint mediums
- Learning about composition
- Learn how to begin and work through to a finished painting
- How to clean and care for your brushes

No experience necessary. A perfect starting point for absolute beginners or artists used to working in other medium. A great class for high school visual art students.
