Materials list provided on registration. Most items will already have. Ask me if unsure on what to bring. Please note - you will not be accepted into sessions if you arrive with incorrect materials.
Some arrived previously bringing other paints or different brushes. Incorrect paints are not able to be used due to lack of pigment contained , and inability of brushes to 'perform'.

Contained in workshop: (Note - if unsure of paints etc, do not guess, please phone me to discuss prior to purchasing/attending.)
During workshop you will also be able to use some of my colours.
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 also known as a bistre method) plus undertaking an Old Masters technique.
Several smaller paintings will be undertaken trying out various techniques. Don't worry, I do not believe in spending money when one does not need to, therefore, materials will be kept to a lower cost yet still enabling quality work to be achieved.
Artist's quality oils are always the best to use, however, to keep costs down for you, I will accept in workshops the Winsor & Newton's student brand (Winton) and/or Rowneys oils. 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. These are easy to use and feeling/use is similar to normal oils. Please advise on registration and cost will be provided to you.
Papakura - 2-days. Concentrated session. Plus one other small painting completed.
This is not for those who have 'nil' experience with using oils.However, beginners are welcome, on the condition of having usedoils previously.
Cost - $275.00 Morn/afternoon tea supplied, bring lunch. On the second day lunch provided. Image shown will be similar to that being taught. A 24"/61 cms canvas supplied. A materials list will be provided upon registration. Note: Minimum numbers are required in order for this to be run. We need 2 days in order to let oils dry for next stage.
Contained in workshop: (Note - if unsure of paints etc, do not guess, please phone me to discuss prior to purchasing/attending.)
Supplied will be a 2 inch brush as well as the use of some of my colours and a few other items.
A step-by-step process, with completion on the second day. The large canvas will be supplied. Read below regarding make/quality of paints. Most paint colours you will probably have. We will be using an old Masters type technique.
We will be mixing paints to produce other colours.
Your own water-mixable oils will be accepted 'only' on the condition that the user has been using prior and has a good handle on these.
Artist's quality oils are required, however, to keep costs down if you are unable to purchase due to expense... then the Winsor & Newton's student brand (ie. Winton) and/or Rowneys oil paints are quite acceptable. Definitely not to be used (or brought along) are any student brands, ie Maries etc
Note - This will be a fast paced workshop as a large painting to be completed to take home to hang on your wall, please be prepared for this.
