introduction to oil paint:
the basics
A workshop conducted by Célia Rakotondrainy where you'll delve into the basic learnings of painting with oil on canvas - what materials are needed, sharing of different techniques, artists to be inspired by - all of the basis you'll need to give you the confidence to start exploring this quite intimidating medium. A mix of theoretical and hands-on practice.
All materials will be provided by the studio - you'll just need to bring some clothes you wouldn't mind staining (old T-shirt, apron,…), as this practice can get quite messy. Since oil paint takes time to dry, you will be able to pick up your finished works later - Célia will let you know when they are dry.
This workshop, which usually runs for 2 and a half hours, happens mostly during the weekend, the day depending on the availability of the participants, and the time can also interchangeable for each class.
