Stop painting every leaf and start painting the light! Join artist Lindsey McLaren for a focused 3-hour workshop on the art of simplification. You will learn how to cut through visual clutter and translate a complex photo into a bold, atmospheric oil painting using strong shapes and confident brushwork.

What we will cover:
• Finding the big shapes in a landscape.
• Mastering light and dark values for maximum impact.
• Working Fat over Lean for a professional finish.

This workshop is ideal for those with some oil experience who want to move away from fussy details and find a more expressive style.

Materials: Please bring your own oil painting kit, which should include paints, brushes, a canvas, and odourless solvent.

Reference: The tutor will provide artist-quality reference photos to help you achieve the best results with the techniques being taught.

*Note: Since oil paint takes a while to dry, please ensure you bring a suitable container to carry your artwork home.
