A two-day course focusing on producing still life oil painting using a loose approach and exploring tone and colour to describe the subject, without overworking.
We will explore temperature and tone in order to achieve a floral painting, working on oil painting studies and a final painting. Penny German’s own work and that of some American artists will be referenced.
