Overview

This Introduction to Oil Painting workshop is all you need to get started on your artistic journey.

You will learn how to paint and also how to appreciate the art you see in a new way.

Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer’s most famous painting.

Johannes Vermeer was the master of light.

We have chosen Vermeer's classic painting of The Girl with the Pearl Earring because it is familiar to many and because it has great examples of all of the principles we teach in this intro class including
-a variety of colours
- Chiaroscuro (the Italian term for extreme light and dark contrast)
-a full range of flesh tones ... we teach an easy method for mixing skin tones!
-a variety of edges including hard, soft and lost edges and we will teach you to recognise and execute these all easily

This short workshop is fun for everyone and great for beginners.
