Oil Painting for (not just) beginners Workshop

A great four-day (17th, 18th, 24th & 25th May) course for both beginners and experienced oil painters who want to learn about how oil paint works and the techniques that can be achieved.

Have you been painting with oils for a while but find your works dull, muddy, lifeless or even cracked??? Mine used to be before I learnt all this crucial information! This is a very structured course delving into the properties, history and science behind oil paint. Students will end up with 4 paintings using different techniques including old masters, impressionist and contemporary styles.

Good drawing skills are helpful but certainly not necessary as the focus is on technique and application of paint. Always guaranteed fun, challenging and inspirational learning!

Spaces, as always, are limited and bookings can be made by emailing info@marlboroughartsociety.co.nz
