From Drawing to Painting: A Classical Oil Painting Intensive

Explore the foundations of classical oil painting through traditional techniques, developing skills in drawing, value, colour, and paint handling while creating a finished artwork.

Overview

Learn the foundations of classical oil painting through a structured, step-by-step process rooted in observational drawing and traditional atelier methods. Students will develop a strong drawing, transfer it to canvas, and build a fully rendered painting using solvent-free oil painting techniques. Emphasis will be placed on shape design, value, colour relationships, and paint handling. Suitable for beginners and intermediate artists interested in developing stronger technical foundations.
