Description

This short course is your rapid introduction to loose and bold oil painting. 

Spend a fun and exhilarating 2.5-hour oil painting session with Roy, where you'll discover the power of fast, expressive brushwork and walk away with two completed, engaging works of art. Using a simple, limited palette and a selected set of brushes, you'll focus on speed and intuition to create vibrant, painterly still life studies.

You will learn how to employ lively, confident brushstrokes which can immediately engage the viewer. All skill levels are welcome - so if you've wanted to try oils without the long commitment, this course is for you!

What Makes This Course Different? 

• You will make two complete paintings in one focused 2.5 hour session.
• No Fumes and no Fuss: We use modern, odourless mineral spirits - meaning absolutely no traditional turpentine smell! Just the pure joy of painting.
• Simple Setup: All premium materials are provided, including oils, a limited palette, brushes, and odourless solvent.
• Pizza Box Transport: Take your wet masterpieces home safely and securely in a provided pizza box to let them dry naturally over the following week.
