What you'll do
Join us for an immersive and inspiring oil painting workshop where you will explore the luminous beauty of an Australian sunset, guided by the aesthetic of the Heidelberg School, also known as Australian Impressionism.Working from the intense golden light and distinctive landscapes captured by artists such as Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts, and their colleagues, you will learn how to recreate that shimmering atmosphere in oil using modern water-mixable oils and compatible mediums for a clean and accessible studio experience.You can choose between two creative pathways during the session:
- Beginner option: Follow step-by-step instructions as you replicate the instructor’s demonstration and composition.
- Intermediate or experienced option: Work independently from a provided reference image, applying the same techniques while designing your own composition.
