Course introduction

This course is perfect if you would like to develop your skills on a day long programme in Life Painting with Oil Paints.  

This class is targeted at students who have taken art in Monday Life Drawing programme and would like to further develop their skills with the introduction of oil paints.  

It is also suitable for students that may have done a Life Drawing class with us earlier in the year and they would like to further develop their skills.  

Please note this class is not for complete beginners.  

Throughout the day you will learn a variety of techniques and processes in life painting, working with a range of materials to develop your skills and drawing the naked human form from life. 

Working from the human form you will focus on proportion and composition, applying both technical and expressive approaches whilst working with oil paints to develop your skills and explore a new media.  You will create a range of different pieces of work which you can take home with you, either on the day or at an arranged later date.
