In this painting workshop, Jade will lead you in creating a still life artwork using acrylic layers, culminating with a final layer of oil paint. You will explore the traditional technique of layering through a step-by-step approach, complete with live demonstrations. Throughout the day, you will concentrate on a single painting, receiving support on drawing, painting techniques, and colour mixing using photographic references. This course is suitable for both beginners and those at an intermediate level.
