Oil Painting Workshops
in Dublin
REDISCOVERING AN ANCIENT TECHNIQUE
Experience a one-day painting workshop where we’ll explore the fundamentals of oil painting: a session designed to help you lose the fear of both this ancient medium and the blank canvas. This time, we’ll be exploring one of the most beloved subjects of all: the autumn landscape.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to refine your skills, you’ll receive step-by-step guidance tailored to your own pace in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Introduction. An overview of materials, palette setup, and essential principles like surface preparation, fat-over-lean, colour mixing, and blending.
