Tutor - Laurence Kell

2-day workshop

Saturday 11 October, 10.30am - 4.30pm and Sunday 12 October 2025, 10.30am - 3.30pm 

This workshop gives students the opportunity to explore the exciting possibilities of still life painting in oils.

Advice will be given on compositional design, considering the overall balance of colours, shapes, light and shadow. The fundamentals of oil painting will also be covered. 
Still life objects will be provided, however, students are encouraged to bring small objects of their own choice.

Aimed at those with some drawing experience.

Please wear clothes and shoes suitable for a studio environment, and bring any of your own brushes if you have them. You will also need to consider how you will take work home with you on the last day, bearing in mind some work may still be wet - plastic bags are a good option.
