  • Contained in workshop:
  • Explanation of different paints/manufacturers | Colour Mixing | Mediums | Supports | Techniques | Glazing | Brushes | Knives | wipe-out method (a fast way for an underpainting in order to establish lights and darks).
  • Several smaller paintings will be undertaken trying out various techniquesDon't worry, I do not believe in spending money when one does not have to, therefore, materials will be kept lower cost and yet, enabling quality work to be achieved.
  • Artist's quality oils are always the best to use, however, to keep costs down Winsor & Newton's student brand (Winton) and/or Rowneys are quite acceptable. Definitely not to be used are Maries, or other inexpensive brands.
  • Note - If you prefer to use a water mixable oil, then I am able to supply a set of these to you at a reduced retail cost - please advise upon registration.
