Introduction to oil painting on Sunday mornings
The Colour Factory Studios, The Lodge, Gordon Road, Winchester SO23 7DDThe cost for six morning classes is £150.
The run of six mornings next year:
January 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th, February 3rd, 10th
February 24th, March 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, April 7th
April 28th, May 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th, June 2ndMy oil-painting class is based in the Colour Factory garden studio, tucked away behind the River Park Leisure Centre. Three mornings of a local landscape, followed by three mornings of still life. Classes are limited to eight, to enable time for individual teaching. Tea and coffee is provided. I’ll supply a list of basic art materials needed before the class begins. Classes are on Sundays, 10am till 1pm.
People are at different levels. So the class is less structured overall - there's a short demonstration at the start, and then I go around talking to people one to one.
It helps if people have some experience of drawing. The aim isn't so much a finished painting. This is more like a series of colour studies so that people come away with a few approaches to managing an oil painting. I encourage slowing down, working big to small, finding the big colour shapes. It's a slightly abstract way in to the painting. It's how I work.
