Overview

Are you new to oil painting and would like to understand what it involves? Or have you been painting for a while and would like to explore new techniques to add to your already existing skillset?

Robyn loves to travel and gathers her inspiration from far off destinations to create her artworks. Robyn has been painting since she was 12-years-old, dabbling in oil painting and acrylics, as well as a variety of other different mediums. She is self-taught and would love to share her experiences, knowledge and creative process with you.

In this course, Robyn introduces an overview of the oil painting process and what is involved. Robyn has selected a very personal, inspirational reference from her travels in the Philippines in April 2018. She stumbled across swings that inspired an unexpected love story, which continues to this day.

In this 30-minute class, you'll get insight into her personal process, from the beginning to final stages. This fun and informative course will cover numerous techniques and will include lessons on raw materials & supplies, life drawing for oil painting, breaking in the canvas, mark making in detail, selective painting, glazing and correcting mistakes.

So, if you're looking at getting started or are wanting to get to grips with new techniques, this is a great place to start.

Happy painting and looking forward to seeing you in lecture 1!
