Direct Portrait Painting in Oils (June 5th, 12th, 19th & 26th)

£95.00

With Steve Lyon Bowes

This is a four-part evening course on:
Wednesdays, June 5th, 12th, 19th & 26th,
6 – 9pm

The Direct Method is a working method often used by the Old Masters – where they would build up and complete a section of painting in one painting session, often working using only opaque paint. Artists who used this technique range from Rembrandt, John Singer Sargent to Van Gogh. 

Over the sessions, and working from photos, you’ll learn the process, colour mixing and paint application techniques to achieve a solidity and depth in your painting.

Please be aware that oils can be messy and stay wet for a few days – so please wear an apron or old shirt. As we’d love for you to take your painting away with you, please bring a box to carry it home in –  the final artwork will be on a 12″ x 10″ canvas board.

All abilities welcome.
All materials provided.
