🎨 Oil painting for beginners — and just look at the progress!
These beautiful blooms are now a few layers in, with rich opaque colour, and glowing warmth that’s straight out of an Old Masters painting.
We’ve been exploring how to build up depth in oils, from transparent underlayers to juicy highlights — and having a lot of fun along the way.
🍇🖌️ If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to paint florals in oils, these sessions are a lovely place to start. I run them at dates and times to suit you, with all materials provided and plenty of tea and encouragement along the way.
