In this short course we focus on seasonal colours and provide you with the perfect setting to bring your personal seasonal experience to life. Our studio is a place for you to plan and start a painting; then bring it to fruition with support and encouragement from an experienced oil painter.
Over the four sessions Diana will
- provide lots of individual guidance, support and encouragement
- help in selecting the best compositional format
- show you the techniques for mixing the subtle colours that feature in many seasonal paintings
It doesn’t matter if you are just starting your journey with oil paints, or an experienced artist, this painting in oils course suits artists with all levels of experience.
