Join renowned artist Evan Woodruffe to learn the essentials of oil painting including preparation, brush selection, colour selection and composition while learning about allergy-friendly painting processes.
This two-day workshop covers oil painting essentials: preparing surfaces, colour selection and mixing, mediums, composition and brush skills. You will produce several small studies and a finished painting on canvas, with particular attention to tonal range and colour depth.
By combining traditional and modern materials and techniques, this workshop avoids the use of solvents, providing safe and allergy-friendly painting processes to take home with you.
Your lunch each day. We'll provide tea and coffee. A painting apron or smock is a good idea.
This workshop is geared towards beginners; those who haven't begun painting and those who are self-taught and want to learn some traditional guidelines.
Evan Woodruffe is an artist who is well respected for his in-depth technical knowledge. Evan has his MFA (1st Class) from University of Auckland, and maintains a dynamic exhibition history across the Asia-Pacific region www.evanwoodruffe.com
I just loved the oil painting class. The teacher was so good he enabled me to produce pieces that I never would have believed possible before the class or even half way through the first day.
The teacher was relaxed, encouraging, highly knowledgeable and able to communicate concepts and instructions, that are quite abstract, in a clear way. I came away with two paintings I love, but also new eyes, and a feeling of peace and contentment that is still with me days later. I can’t wait to sit down and paint again this weekend 🙂 October 2022
Will we use mineral turpentine on this course?
We won't be using any solvents in the class as these are both a health hazard and bad for the paint film.
