This is a 2-day workshop which offers an introduction to Oil painting and the under sketch. If you want to try your hand at oils for the first time this is the workshop for you. The grisaille and underpainting techniques in landscape, Abstraction, still life, the figure or portraits 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 understanding transparency and opaqueness in the painted surface.
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 then continue your practice with us in color and book weekly classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Saturdays. In these sessions, you will work in color and can develop your practice and focus on whatever subjects and techniques are of interest to you, either in contemporary or classical painting and drawing under the assuring guidance of the teacher.
