David Kemp will give a brief overview of the classical method of oil painting and the importance of a consistent value structure. (If students haven't worked on a nine-step value system, he will take you through this as it is a small class with one-on-one opportunity). He will then delve further into colour mixing theory through demonstrations and student  exercises. 

The students will be encouraged to take their own reference image and produce a  full colour rendering of the subject. New students can work on a tonal image provided, if preferred. The subject matter is entirely of the students choosing i.e  Portrait, still life, landscape etc. David will provide one-on one mentoring and assist throughout this more complicated colour rendering process. 

All levels of oil painting experience are warmly welcomed. Happy Painting!
