The session will consist of lectures, discussions, demonstrations and enough time to paint.
“I am frustrated with oils. I tried it before but it takes forever to dry. How can I master it or work around it?”
Oil painting dominates the world of artistic painting when it comes to medium choice. Oils have stood the test of time and are still the preferred choice of painting medium for many artists.
Oil paints are slow to dry, which allows the artist to work areas in a painting for a long period of time. This can be viewed as an advantage, but also a disadvantage if the desire of the artist is to cover areas of colour with a new one. Lillian will teach you how to complete a portrait one sitting. (Alla Prima) and master working wet on wet.
