Drawing and Painting Foundations 3: Oil Painting for Beginners

A structured 10-week introduction to oil painting, suitable for absolute beginners and those returning to painting.

Through practical exercises, colour studies and still life projects, you'll develop a strong foundation in the essential principles of working with oils.

You will learn to:

  • Mix and organise colour using a limited palette

  • See and simplify value, temperature and chroma

  • Build paintings from large relationships through to smaller details

Across the term, you'll complete a series of colour exercises and still life paintings, developing a practical and cohesive approach to working in oils.
