3 Day Workshop for intermediate and experienced oil painters

This is an opportunity to learn from one of Australia’s top Tutors. Renowned for his magnificent Australian Landscapes John will share the secrets to create your own beautiful and exciting oil paintings. This workshop will focus on creating depth in a painting by using atmospheric perspectives. You will be exploring the subtilties of our Australian light and atmosphere as well as composition, colour mixing and techniques used in the craft of oil painting. The workshop will begin with a short theory session followed by step by step demonstrations and of special interest will be the subtle layering of paint to show how the atmosphere changes over distance and how you capture that in your art work.

On day 1 we will be creating a small 12 x 9 inch Landscape where we will learn the concept of atmospheric perspective. On day 2 and 3 we will perfect our knowledge of atmospheric perspective as we create a beautiful 24 x 9 inch Seascape.

You will need to use artist quality oil paints to achieve the desired effects in this workshop. Please bring all your painting gear and as many questions as you wish to ask.

Suitable for attendees who have a reasonable level of experience in oil painting with the aim to take you to the next level.
