The Intermediate course in oil painting is for those who have a foundation in oil painting and would like to take it to the next stage. In this course you will be supported to work on your own painting. Your project will be given bespoke guidance depending on the individual needs of your work. Where appropriate you will learn about working on different grounds or using different textures and mediums to get what you need. Your ideas and composition will be supported by one on one guidance and in group discussion. Feedback from peers is often the most generous way to expand our knowledge by shared ideas both conceptually and practically. At Burnt Sienna we provide asupportive environment that will help you to start your painting, figure out how to approach your ideas and how to break open ideas of where to go next if you are stuck. Through discussion and demonstration you will receive guidance on how to deal with a particular problem or how to practise a technique you would like to master. With 6 sessions of focused and supported painting time you will have a great opportunity to realise the painting that you want to make.

When

Friday evening 6-9pm

What do I need to bring

You will need to bring any visual ideas relating to the painting you would like to make. This

may include sketchbooks or drawings, reference imagery from any source, inspiration from

other artists you like or find helpful.

Through discussion and play in the first sessions we will decide on the right surface and

scale for you to work on, once decided you will then need to bring this to the class.

1- Group discussion on how to approach your painting, playing with different surfaces

2- Do you know your colour palette and how to achieve it? Planning out your painting on

your surface

3- Getting started- underpainting if appropriate, first layers

4- Getting stuck in- mixing in a variety of textures and mediums where appropriate.

5- Pulling it together- building up layers where necessary

6- Final touches and group discussion- what was learnt and how to continue.

All sessions are supported with both tutor and group discussions.
