AUTUMN OILS - in person workshop, Dumfries House

Notify me when this product is available:

Two glorious days of oil painting, immersed in the wonderful Walled Garden studio in Dumfries House.

SATURDAY 19-20th OCTOBER
10am-4pm each day
The Walled Garden Pavilion, Dumfries House Estate

This is all about gloriously buttery oils, using your inspirational surroundings to fuel a series of small oil paintings - we'll be working across a few paintings consecutively. 

This is the perfect workshop to really hone your oil painting skills (or indeed learn how to use them) - there will be lots of demos, instruction and information on how to use oils, with tons tips and techniques to get the best from the medium and really exploit the alla prima (in one sitting) technique.

You'll be welcome to spend time outdoors if the weather is kind or spend the whole weekend immersed in our glorious studio. 

The Walled Garden Pavilion will be your studio for the weekend and we'll start off (as we do in DH) with a glass of Bucks Fizz each day, a chat about our plans, and really enjoy a more relaxed immersive experience over the two days.

This is a small group workshop with plenty of one to one guidance throughout. 

Top up with some tea/coffee and shortbread throughout the weekend as and when you need, with a light lunch of soup and sandwich each day and a time to catch up with your fellow artists.

This workshop is NOT suitable for beginners. We'll be working in OIL PAINT AND TURPS.

Bucks fizz, tea/coffee, refreshments, light lunch
