Landscape Painting from Photographs with Water Mixable Oil

Enjoy the luxury of painting in oil without the mess and fumes of toxic solvents! Water mixable oils are real oil paint in which the linseed oil has been altered to allow clean up with water!

If you’ve even been curious about what it’s like to paint with oils, this two-day workshop will be a fun introduction.

The workshop will include a demo painting by the instructor and individual instruction. Topics will include: choosing a landscape subject, creating a composition, taking your own photographs, mixing a wide range of colors with a limited palette, brush handling, and creating textures for foliage, trees, grasses and other landscape painting subjects.

Water mixable oil paint will be provided for the workshop. You can try oil painting without making an investment in paint. Students who prefer, can bring their own water mixable or traditional oil paint. Here is a list of other materials and a more detailed list with additional info.

Photographs will also be provided, but students are welcome to bring their own photo to work from.

$80 for the two day workshop (total of six hours), $40 if you can only attend a single day. The two days are not redundant — the full workshop is recommended, although either day will be appropriate for beginners.
