Oil Painting Course for beginners and Intermediates (adults)
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY below
The aim of this class is to teach you how to paint realistic subjects whether it is a still life, portrait or landscape. Although it is a group class, each individual will be guided according to own needs and everyone follows own pace. Please note that this is a group class and although the group usually consists of beginner students, other more advanced students might be present.
The basic program is a combination from the traditional program to learn the basic skills of painting and drawing.
As a member of the Art Renewal Centre I follow guidelines and ONLY teach representational art that is realism and impressionism. I do not teach abstract, digital or any other forms of contemporary styles.

What you learn?
Absolute beginners might need some instruction about the foundations of drawing, which will be given if needed to cover the basic principles. Training will be focused to develop a keen eye to see and observe while develop the skill of handling line, contour, perspective and values to create form and a convincing representation of light. As you progress you will be introduced to painting starting from monochromatic (one colour) gradually adding more colour as you progress. Training is from simple to complex. The pace at which we progress depends on the individual. The more you practice the quicker you progress. It is always advisable and suggested that you practice at home in order to improve your technique and move on at a faster pace. What are the subjects you learn? Students will be given subjects carefully selected by the tutor to tackle various problems and techniques. As references we will be using:

Subjects covered include:
Training schedule Although there is a structure behind the training schedule, there are no time-frames and every person can move forward at own pace. This pace can be faster for those individuals that draw and paint regularly. Training is sequential starting from line and mass drawing, perspective, light and shade (values), using graphite and later charcoal. From charcoal we move to monochromatic painting using oil paint. Introduction to oil painting and painting in full colour with extensive practice on colour mixing using colour studies. Importance is given to the further improvement in drawing, while getting more experience in mixing colour, paint and brush handling, glazing, direct/indirect painting and edge control. Classes can be cancelled if numbers are not reached. In case class is cancelled the fee will either be refunded or transferred to other sessions. Fees are NON-REFUNDABLE once term starts so please read carefully Terms and Conditions before enrolling. |
Materials Needed for Classes
Please note that the fees do not include any materials needed, hence these need to be bought by yourself. Owning your own art materials is important in arts since you will need to practice outside the class in order to progress and become proficient in your skill.
Beginners will be doing only drawing and hence they will only need the tools for drawing (no need to buy paints etc)
Students who are going to start painting will need to buy their own basic set of paints but after we discuss to decide about your needs.
