5 hours Class size 8 to 10 guests       $98 (PayPal Pay in 4 available)

Discover the timeless beauty of oil painting a still life of fruit and flowers with natural pigments in this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop. Learn how to make your own oil paint from scratch using natural pigments.
Natural pigments are not only safe for the artist and the environment but also more radiant, archival, and luminous than conventional paints. Painting with these materials gives you a deeper connection to the earth and to the artists of the past.
We will also explore solvent-free oil painting just as the Renaissance masters did — using walnut oil to clean brushes instead of petroleum-based solvents. This method allows you to paint without harmful fumes while connecting you to the techniques and traditions of the Old Masters.
What You’ll Learn:
  • How to mix and prepare natural pigments for oil painting
  • How to draw and paint a still life
  • Solvent-free painting methods for no odour and a traditional approach
  • Basic and a few advanced oil painting techniques
  • Ways to bring texture and luminosity to your paintings using natural materials
