Cost: £30
John is a member of the London Wapping Group, the East Anglian Marine Painters, and Fellow of the Society of Arts Australia. He has run workshops and demonstrations in England and Australia, and also teaches at his studio in South Norfolk. John paints in a modern impressionistic style, capturing atmosphere and mood.
At this workshop students should get a good idea of how to put on colour and keep it fresh. John will also cover composition, tone, and colour to help to produce an impressionistic oil painting during the day.
If you are a complete beginner in oils, John can provide a starter set of oils for £8 (paid for at the workshop) which will include everything you need to complete a painting (materials to be returned to him at the end of the day). So if you would like to try oil painting for the first time, this workshop is a good opportunity to give it a go.
