Upcoming workshop at Kennedy's Art, Harcourt st.
I will be hosting an oil painting workshop in Kennedy's Art, Harcourt st this coming April the 5th.
One of the pictures in the link is a charcoal drawing and the other is a monochrome oil painting, but the workshop will be on oil painting the figure i.e. colour. Those were just the pictures that ended up on the website.
We will be using limited palette (as taught by FAA). Which means a white, a black, a red and an ochre. Those are plenty to describe flesh tones - well, more than enough for me to handle at any rate.
It's €60 and participants are entitled to a discount on supplies in the shop on the day. Call 01-4751749 to book. Places are limited so early booking is advised. See you there!
