Painting a view of Mount Solitary, Blue Mountains

During this session, we will be painting the scenery of Mount Solitary in Blue Mountains with an emphasis on the use of colour to create depth and atmospheric perspective.

This class is good for beginners and anyone who wants to experiment with using oil paints. You will have a brief introduction to oil painting and the materials that we will be using. We will also talk about landscape painting and its approach.

You do not need to buy materials as your teacher will provide them (all materials included). Lunch is not included.

What you will learn:
- How to understand colour: concepts of the colour theory and mixing and its application in the landscape
- Observing and painting approach to landscapes in oils, composition and creating depth using colour, tone and perspective

At the end of the class, return home with your very own unique oil painting and the confidence to continue creating!
