Beginners Oil Painting Workshop | Sun 6 Oct 1-4pm | Adult Art Class
Time: 1-4pm
Date: Sun 6th October 2024
Location: Millworks, Field Road, Busby, G76 8SE
Used by many of the Masters, oil paints are known for creating some of the most famous paintings of all time. But they’re not that scary, honest. This workshop is perfect as an introduction to use them. You’ll be painting along with Bob Ross in no time!
You’ll learn how to use oil paints, different brushes to use, layering your paint, colour mixing, creating textures and leave with a finished painting using all your new skills!
Perfect for beginners that have never painted before, or those that have used other paints such as acrylics or watercolours, but not oils.
All materials are included in the workshop

Why this class?
Learning how to use oil paints can seem daunting, but by looking at mixing colours and how we apply the paint in different ways, it really simplifies the process. Oil paints are relatively simple, once you get used to the slower drying time and ease of colour mixing. Brilliant for animals, landscapes, still life and everything inbetween.
Enjoy an afternoon away from it all to learn some new skills, have a chat and zone out! I keep a very relaxed class.
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided, but you’re more than welcome to bring your own refreshments too (wine is allowed!)
Venue
The venue is in my new studio in Busby, Glasgow. It’s a 10 minute walk from Busby Train Station and the number 6 bus stops nearby too. There is free parking outside the venue.
Unfortunately the room is on the first floor with no lift access. My sincere apologies if this is a barrier to you attending.
Timings
Class will start promptly at 1pm, so please arrive 5 minutes early to allow for settling in. Class will end at 4pm.

Cancellation policy
Fingers crossed there won’t be any disruptions to class, but in the case the class needs to be cancelled, I’ll offer a full refund or transfer to another class. If you have purchased a ticket and can no longer make it, I have a 72 hour cancellation policy. If cancelled more than 72 hours before, I’ll offer a full refund or transfer to another class, but unfortunately if within the 72 hours and I’m unable to fill the spot (I will try the waiting list!) then I can’t offer a refund.
