Oil Painting for Beginners with Dominique Millar

Learn how to gain control over oil paint using no more than three to four colours in two painted studies. Discover the potentials of tonality and colour within a limited colour palette, without becoming overwhelmed by a new medium. This class is suitable for complete beginners in oil painting, or those with some previous experience.

Morning session: after a teacher led discussion introducing oil painting and the tonal value scale, students will undertake a monochrome painting.

Afternoon Session: students will undertake a second study with all four paints in colour. In this session you will be introduced to so-called relative ‘warm’ and ‘cool’ colour values.
