This workshop will cover the basic methods and materials used in oil painting while you work on your choice of image in still life, landscape or portrait. Discussion will be directed towards the basic design elements that lead to good compositions; positive and negative space, color, line, light and dark spaces, perspective and understanding how the eye flows over a painting.

Most importantly participants will be encouraged to free themselves of the biggest obstacle in painting, the fear of making a mistake.
