Workshop
Oil Painting and the Folded Landscape
With Jean Stewart
Weekly on Tuesday, 6:30 - 9:00PM
From 28 Oct - 2 Dec
Learn the basics of oil painting in this relaxed 6-week landscape painting class with experienced artist and educator Jean Stewart. The class will cover surface preparation, value studies, brush marks, colour mixing and paint layer application.
Painting from a set up model of a landscape will add some control, while allowing the learner to develop skills to paint from real life. Each participant will be encouraged to find their own style and will complete one finished landscape piece.
Jean Stewart is currently exhibiting in our Homestead Galleries with her show Current Moods. Visit this exhibition until Saturday 4 October.
