Available spots
Course description
Our 6 week oil painting course is perfect for beginners in oil painting, or for those wanting to revisit the building blocks of painting, including brushwork, composition, colour, tone and form. You will be working from still life in the studio and taking inspiration from successful painters in this genre. In the first two lessons you will explore composition and tone through small studies, first in charcoal, and then in monochrome oils. As you build confidence, you will experiment with colour mixing, with the goal of producing at least one final colour still life composition. The full course schedule will be emailed to you on booking, or if you would like a copy beforehand please email hello@creativespacebristol.co.uk. You will be asked to bring a materials pack, which will be emailed to you on booking or request beforehand via email (approximate cost £50). We will provide a table easel for you to work with, or you are welcome to bring your own, along with odourless thinners, linseed oil, jam jars and dipping pots.
