Private 1-1 class
Private sessions are ideal for people visiting Ireland for a short-period, or for beginners/students seeking to develop skills quickly to meet professional or academic goals. For clients living outside of Ireland, please note that we can arrange for your painted canvases (once dried) to be delivered to your home country with the postal company of your choice.
These sessions are also used by practicing artists to expand their skill base and material knowledge with the aim of pushing their practice to a new level. The artist’s current work is used as a platform to discuss their themes, styles and intentions, and then we study directly from key works of other artists to understand technique and how to best combine with the client’s present practice. This can include understanding the palette of a particular painter, color combinations, layering in painting and the direct copying of drawing and paintings in the style you wish to explore. Private class can take place on Mon between 10-1 or 1-4 Tuesday 2-5 and Thursday, Friday 10-1.

This is a two-day workshop which offers an introduction to the grisaille and underpainting techniques in landscape, still life or portraits. These techniques are paramount to understanding all forms of painting, whether classical or contemporary. Learn to develop your brushwork and to practice the creation of texture, tone, weight, shadow, temperature and focus, all in one tone. Mastery of the grisaille and underpainting techniques develop the artist's ability to sketch in oil painting quickly and to render flesh, landscapes and still lifes with skill and beautiful brushwork.
The workshop includes live demonstration by Eoin Llewellyn, as well as ongoing assistance with your work and answers to any questions that arise as you are painting over the 2 days. The workshop hours (10:00-16:00 includes a one-hour break for lunch).
When you complete this workshop or if you are currently painting with oils we would recommend you attend the 12 hour painting/drawing package on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Saturdays.
