  • Finding the big shapes in a landscape.
  • Mastering light and dark values for maximum impact.
  • Working Fat over Lean for a professional finish.

This workshop is ideal for those with some oil experience who want to move away from detail to find a more expressive style.

Materials: Please bring your own oil painting kit, which should include paints, brushes, a canvas, and odourless solvent. 
Reference: tutor will provide artist- reference photos to help you achieve the best results with the techniques being taught.
