Autumn Blooms: Nature in Oils - a one-day workshop

Join artist Daisy Embury on this day workshop to explore the medium of oil paint focusing on autumn blooms.

In this workshop Daisy will take you through the basics of oil paint, working briefly through its five stages. You will learn how to sketch, find your palette, then work into some stronger details. You will be guided through the day and be shown there is no right or wrongs, just a listening ear and gentle touch with your brushes. Daisy will talk you through the different brushes, oil paints and basic material knowledge.

Over the course of the day, you will use the skills taught by Daisy to paint a bloom from autumn nature on an A3 canvas. Daisy will be working closely with you all to guide you through, with a gentle balance of allowing you to discover your own creative voice with your piece.

Autumn, a season for shedding; transitioning, reflection at letting go. This workshop will be offering a deep space of reflection and giving yourself the time that we rarely give ourselves to settle into slowness. Reinforcing the beauty of oil paints delicate and slow nature, and mirroring to us, ours. You will leave this workshop with with a foundation in using oils, you can then bloom from in further practise.
