This step-by-step course is designed to make oil painting approachable and enjoyable. Each day will begin with a short demonstration to guide you through the process, after which I’ll provide individual support as you create your painting. The course covers:
- Building a basic palette
- Using mediums and mastering painting techniques
- Starting a painting
- Bringing life and expression to a portrait
The course is perfect for beginners, with opportunities for progression if you’d like to continue.
You are welcome to bring a photograph of your choice to work from, or I can provide one for you. Please let me know your preference beforehand.
