Oil Painting for Beginners Workshop
Early Bird Offer - 20% off - Was £75 Now £60 - Offer valid until 4th June 2024
Let yourself become enchanted with oil painting, as Emily guides you step-by-step to create your own moonlit ocean painting.
As we paint together, Emily will give an insight into the basics of colour mixing, blending, wet-on-wet application and brushwork, while exploring how versatile this medium can be.
Emily teaches with a gentle and relaxed approach and she encourages you to find your flow whilst helping you explore how nourishing and calming making paintings can be. Everyone will be made to feel at home and welcome in her classes.
All materials are provided, but please wear messy clothes.
Emily Starling’s artistic work spans over 14 years and includes huge public installations, oil paintings and surface print designs. Most notably she has collaborated with Chester Zoo, Liberty London, York Bid and House of Hackney. Her work, small or large features nature and its awe-inspiring connection to us all.
‘I believe, creativity offers a guiding hand to reground us and to communicate with ourselves and each other in new ways. It can become a space of sanctuary and I find it one of the most beautiful things we can do as humans. It teaches us to settle, to calm, to observe and to create something that has never existed in the world before. It helps us to know ourselves and it helps us to externalise that which cannot be put into words.’
