Join this fun oil painting class and learn the basics of how to paint a beach scene.

 

This class is good for beginners and anyone who wants to experiment with using oil paints. You will have a brief introduction to oil painting and the materials that we will be using.

 

Then, we will talk about landscape painting and the approach to creating a variety of textures in your piece, such as rocks, sand, headlands, and ocean/waves.

 

Plus, all materials are provided, so all you need to bring is yourself and a few of your best friends!

 

What you will learn:

 
  • How to understand colour: concepts of colour theory and mixing and its application in the landscape
  • Observing and painting approach to landscapes in oils, composition, and creating depth using colour, tone, and perspective
  • Using underpainting and layering of paint while blending colours to create beautiful colours

Halfway through the class, we will have a 45-minute break (please note that lunch is not included).

 

At the end of the class, return home with your very own unique oil painting and the confidence to continue creating!

About Organizer

Chris is an artist who lives and works in Sydney, Australia. At the age of six, Chris developed an interest in drawing and at the age of 13, he attended the School of Arts at Palazzo de La Salle in Valletta, Malta. Vidal's style of work was developed through years of experience in drawing and painting. He considers himself as a contemporary realist with his preferred subject being the landscape. Studying classical arts mainly drawing from life helped him to develop drawing skills and a keen eye for detail. During his studies, he was influenced by the works of the great masters. He is also influenced by the American landscape painters of the Hudson River School and by the Australian impressionists of the Heidelberg movement. Chris is also a tutor and teaches drawing and painting to adults at various locations around Sydney. He emphasises the importance of drawing as the foundation onto which you can build up a solid skill in painting as you progress. Having a solid background in science he gives importance to the quality of materials used to create artwork as well as to the importance of understanding why to use a particular technique in the painting process. Ultimately the aim of the teaching classes is to guide you and help you develop a skill in a way that you will be able to draw and paint without any assistance and to also be your own critique.
