Please download the Zoom app. If you haven’t zoomed before don’t worry, it’s not complicated. A little blue camera symbol will pop up on your phone, pad and laptop.

You’ll find the Zoom link for the sessions on the booking ticket AND I will send you the link via email that will take you directly to the sessions (no password required) on the day of the workshop.

I will start the session 15mins before the official start of the workshop. This will give us an opportunity to iron out any technical difficulties if there are any and have a chat

Oil Paint Colours

The colours listed (below) are staples and can be mixed to create almost any colour you could want.

Colours that are nice to choose yourself based on personal preference tend to be secondary colours and yellows; greens, pinks, violets, oranges, yellows.

Earthy Tones; Umber and Sienna (these two are a must) but there are different tones of each that you choose from.

Why Work with a Limited Colour Palette?

Working with a consistent and limited colour palette allows you to get to know, over time, how each pigment behaves and mixes with others. The great thing is that once you get to know how these colours mix you can translate it to any other art medium!
