What is this workshop about? This workshop is developed to introduce oil painting. You will spend 2 hours painting a picture of your choice: a landscape, a seascape, fruits, a pond, or flowers. We prepared some pictures for you; however, if you have something you would like to paint in class, please bring a printed picture with you. You will learn how to mix paints, how to apply them on the canvas, how to treat with oils in general, and how to take care of your art supplies.

Is it for me? We suggest this workshop if you’ve never tried oil, but really want to. Although oil-painting requires more effort and skills than watercolors or acrylics, it can become a new hobby for everyone. If you like to work with oils you may take our regular art classes and improve your skills. You will leave the workshop with a finished painting. However, it may take up to 10 days for drying. Oil painting is messy, so make sure you’re ready for this.

Is the experience necessary? This workshop is beginner-friendly.

How many sessions? 1 session, 2 hours.

How much? $60 + GST

Should I bring my art supplies? No, all supplies will be provided.
