Oil Painting
Quick Start Art: Learn Oil Painting with Rob Lunn
Two day course
Sat 19th and Sun 20th October 10:00am to 5:00pm
Quick Start Art (QSA) is just me, Rob Lunn. It’s all about my love of oil painting and sharing my journey from complete beginner up. I love seeing students get passionate about oil painting. Once you get past the initial fear, oil paints are actually a very forgiving and inclusive medium, and in my opinion, much easier than watercolours or acrylics. Although my workshops are technical in nature, there’s still a big emphasis on having fun. Plus, NO white spirits or turps, only lovely Zest-it products.
WHY ‘QUICK START’?
The Quick Start part is about getting students through those painful first steps and helping them learn to develop their own journey. It’s NOT about cutting corners or using ‘gimmicks’; QSA is a nuts-n-bolts oil painting approach that breaks the painting process into easy-to-follow steps. I’ve basically designed the workshop I wish I’d had at the beginning of my painting journey.
MASTER COLOUR MIXING
Light and colour mixing is at the heart of all of my workshops. We use a limited palette of 6-colours plus white, which, with practise, enables students to mix virtually any colour found in nature. Students learn a structured approach to colour theory that’s predictable and repeatable.
NO EXPENSIVE KIT LISTS On my QSA workshops all the materials you’ll need are provided, and we only use the best, Michael Harding Oil Paints and Rosemary & Co brushes. You’ll even get some specially designed printed tools to take away with you. PLUS there’s a FREE 48-page Workshop Handbook PDF that’s designed to keep you painting when you get home.
SUBJECT MATTERS We all work from specially prepared reference cards that are designed to ease you through the oil painting process. With options for complete beginners, as well as more experienced painters. Each student can choose from Still-life, Portraits, Landscapes or even Pet Portraits.
WHAT MY STUDENTS SAY “I’ve never picked up a paintbrush in my life & I can’t quite believe what Rob’s brilliantly accessible, stage-by-stage breakdown of painting in oils has enabled me & my fellow students to produce (in a really relaxed environment too). I just can’t recommend Rob’s course highly enough — if you’re even thinking about trying it, just do it! 5 stars.” Michele Marshall // Bath
I’ve had loads of 5 star reviews from my students over the years, follow this link to see just a few.
