Join Daisy Embury of Bloom Creative for "A Day of Botanicals: Intro to Oil Paints" and celebrate the approach of spring time.

This workshop is a perfect opportunity to learn something new, near a season full of new beginnings. Throughout the day, you'll work on a single painting, focusing on skill-building through a gentle and mindful approach. The workshop is structured in stages, with Daisy guiding you step-by-step and demonstrating alongside you.

You will begin the workshop with introductions to the materials, the tutor, and each other, before diving into the gridding method to sketch and compose your piece. From there, you will explore finding your colour palette, and the most exciting part begins: applying your oil paints. You will then start by carefully layering base colours, slowly and thinly, ensuring you don't overwork the canvas too soon.

Throughout the day Daisy will encourage you to explore the medium, allowing you to gain new skills at each stage of your painting, developing a foundational understanding of the oil painting process.

You will leave this workshop with a foundation of skills you apply to your own paintings at home over a longer period of time.
