Oil Painting - One Day Introduction with Clare Tebboth
1 day course, suitable for absolute beginners and those with some experience in painting in other mediums.

"Clare’s ability to tailor the classes to each person’s interests and ability made for a highly enjoyable and inspiring course.  I had great fun and loved the friendly, informal atmosphere.  Would love to do more courses!" - Kay

On this one-day workshop we will explore the subject of oil painting, covering materials, techniques, and how to continue developing after the class.
Learn to paint in oils in a relaxing, friendly environment with tuition and support from experienced painter and art teacher Clare Tebboth.

The one-day workshop will cover:

• An overview of the oil painting materials you'll need to get started
• Care of brushes and palette
• Guidance on basic colour mixing and composition
• You will create several small paintings on canvas paper using the alla prima technique which enables artists to complete a painting in one sitting
• Subject matter for the workshop will include a simple still life and small landscape from images provided by Clare

Students are asked to bring:

• Clothes you don't mind getting paint on (aprons will be provided)
• Rags or wipes to clean brushes and hands
• A wide tray or fruit box and newspaper to lay in the book of your car to transport your wet oil paintings home (they will take some time to dry fully)

The course cost of £120 per person includes:

• Use of oil paints, brushes, canvas paper and low-odour solvent
• All your own oil paintings to take home
• Small class sizes, as with all our art classes
• Visors and widely spaced sanitized workspaces
• An opportunity to make creative new friends!
• Lunch and refreshments are included
• Class runs from 10am to 4-30pm (approx)
