Working with Oils

Demonstration & Workshop

Chris Noble

Chris will give a short presentation on the pro’s and con’s of working with oil paints followed by a  demonstration / workshop introducing some of the techniques for using them.

If you would like to take part in the workshop and are maybe trying oil paints for the first time please bring the following with you.

You will need a small canvas or MDF board to paint on. A palette for the paints such as a tear off palette or even just another small MDF board. A small pot to hold the medium for mixing with the paints. Some brushes - any brushes will do but don’t risk using your watercolour brushes! Some kitchen roll and a cloth for cleaning your brushes.

If you already use oil paints or acrylics just bring what you would normally use.

Chris will provide gesso for preparing your canvas / board if necessary, some medium and oil paints if you don’t have any.
