Beginners Welcome!

Learn to use your reference picture as a tool rather than copying what you see in order to create your own dynamic and unique painting. Oksana will show you how to find the fundamentals of painting: composition, colour, value and shape. Whether you have been painting for a while or are just taking the first steps on your art journey this workshop will help you to strengthen your observational skills!

Oksana will teach a simplified approach to still life painting by breaking it down into basic shapes and values. Follow her demonstration step by step while learning the characteristics of acrylic paints and brushes. Learn about colour, soft contrasts, and how to simplify the complex scene.
