Traditional & Modern Oil Painting Techniques with Evan Woodruffe

Even in the 21st Century, oilcolours have the highest colour concentration and light refraction of all artists’ colours. This brilliance, along with their malleable character and slow drying times, make oils ideal for many painting techniques where blending, softening, or working-back is called for. 

In this exciting hands-on workshop, your tutor Evan Woodruffe combines historical solvent-free oilpainting techniques with modern mediums and approaches, to show how to create oilpaintings quickly, safely, and with all the brilliance oilcolour has to offer. 

With lessons from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, this workshop presents oilpainting as a fume-free, systematic process, with solvent-free clean-up. Impressionism teaches quick methods for alla prima painting, and modern mediums allow for fast glazing techniques and thin solvent-free veils of colour, all resulting in oilpaintings of depth and ease. 

Evan Woodruffe is well respected for his in depth technical knowledge, with over 30 years’ experience of professionally researching artists’ materials. Evan has his MFA (1st Class Honours) from Elam, University of Auckland, and an extensive exhibition history across the Asia-Pacific region.

A Note about Covid vaccination certificates:

As we all know, the change to the Covid Protection Framework - AKA: The Traffic Light System, means that rules for events have changed a bit too. As our workshops are ticketed they are deemed to be events, that means that under the current covid level RED - vaccine passports will be required for everyone in attendance on the day. 

We know that this may disappoint some people and for that we wish things were different, but we are simply following the rules that the government have set out for events like this. If you would like to read the government guidelines for events, they can be found HERE.
