Curious about oil painting but uncertain how to get started? This one-day workshop will introduce you to fundamental materials and techniques of oil paints. You will discover why most of the painters exhibiting in New York contemporary art galleries choose to use this extremely flexible and forgiving medium. Techniques covered include creating layers with an underpainting and building up a surface with a limited colour palette. You will work on two paintings during the day: one based on a photo reference, the other, an abstraction of the composition of the first painting. You will leave the workshop with enough information to help you become a competent oil painter. Suitable for beginners. See supply list. SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 10AM - 4:30PM IN-PERSON
