Messing About with Oils
About Lin
Picture
​Further Detail
There will be various fun exercises on canvas and board and information about how to set up your studio (with notes).
Once we have taken the scariness out of oils, you can do a step-by-step landscape, or a painting from your own photo or one of Lin’s.
The class has a friendly atmosphere with an emphasis on ‘messing about’, and you’ll still finish or almost finish a small canvas.

Skills/Techniques Covered
  • Choosing materials to start oil painting
  • Colour mixing with a palette knife
  • How to start a painting using a tonal beginning
  • Making a limited palette exciting.
  • How to apply oils to the canvas

Level
Suitable for complete beginners to Improvers
