Join Artist Lauren Jones for a full day intensive workshop of oil painting. She will guide you through a fun and 'no fuss' approach to oil painting in her Mapleton Studio. Learn the fundamentals of oil painting and colour mixing. Explore form and light through tonal studies. Experience the fast paced Alla Prima painting technique and its gestural mark making qualities. Take home a finished painting on canvas.

All materials provided (drawing materials, paints, brushes, solvent, canvas paper and primed canvas)

Tea and Coffee and light snacks included. There is a cafe and bakery nearby (2min walk) for 1 hour lunch break.

Lauren’s works, executed with bold and immediate brushstrokes, are evocative and impressionistic. Her art exquisitely showcases the materiality of paint and celebrates the process of painting.

Currently Jones works from her art studio in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Queensland
