In this 4-day painting course, running over 4 consecutive Fridays in January, Jade will guide you through the process of creating your own oil painting using traditional layering techniques. You will begin by developing a monochromatic underpainting to establish light, shadow, and form, followed by the gradual application of semi-transparent colour layers to create depth, richness, and luminosity.
Through a step-by-step approach with live demonstrations, you will learn essential skills such as creating an imprimatura, understanding tonal value, paint application, and colour mixing, all while working from photographic references. Each participant will focus on one painting throughout the course, receiving personalised guidance and feedback.
Whether you are a beginner exploring oil painting for the first time or an intermediate artist looking to refine your technique, this course is designed to support your progress and creativity, with no prior experience required. All materials provided.
