Introduction to Oil Painting
In this workshop students have the opportunity to work with oil paint; a medium not traditionally used in post primary schools. The texture and vibrant colours of oil paint make it a satisfying material to use with rewarding results, even for beginners.
The workshop is four hours long and is broken into two sections. To start the students follow a demonstration session with the artist and get a chance to try out up to seven different techniques using brush, palette knife, sponge and other materials. They also, follow the artist, and paint a small landscape and seascape. Some samples are chosen by the student and are returned mounted, ready to frame.
In the second section of the workshop students work on an 8×8 canvas to create their own mini scape.
They will finish with at least three completed pieces of art work for exhibition.
All materials necessary for this workshop are provided: brush, palette knife, sponge, odourless paint thinner, oil paper, block, palette, oil paint and mount.
Cost per workshop: €550 for 15 students – €600 for 20 students and €640 for 24 students
