Oil Painting Techniques: Exploring the Basics Pt 2

Curious about oil painting but not sure where to start? This relaxed and informative session is perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to refresh their skills. Rather than completing a finished painting, we’ll focus on learning the fundamentals — understanding how oils work, how to mix and layer colour, and the different effects you can create through brushwork, blending, glazing, and texture.

You’ll get hands-on experience experimenting with paints, mediums, and brushes, and learn how to prepare surfaces, clean tools, and care for your materials.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a solid foundation in oil techniques and the confidence to begin your own creative projects at home or in future guided classes.

All materials are provided — just bring yourself and your curiosity!
