Curious about oil painting? This is a one-day course to introduce you to the basics of oil painting. Oil painting can be intimidating and seem difficult to do at home, but it actually very doable! Whether you are a curious absolute beginner or someone who wants to get back into oil painting, this day course will help you get up and running. We will cover basics as palette set-up, types of brushes, mediums, painting surfaces, paints and various ways of beginning a painting. You will practise colour mixing and brushwork and take inspiration from a wide variety of amazing paintings from art history. In the afternoon you will get the chance to paint a small still-life. At the end of the day, you will take away a list of materials and notes, a small painting, and basic skills to get going with oil paints.
This is a small group class with 8 students max, therefore a great deal of individual attention is given. The class takes place in our private studio in Stoke Newington, just south of Clissold Park (access up two flights of stairs). We will break for an hour for lunch from 12:30-1:30. Tea and biscuits provided!
Marcia Teusink is a practising artist, educator and organiser of Draw London Art Workshops. There's more about her on our about page.

This is a one-day workshop for people who have attended the Get Into/Get Back into Oil Painting workshop as well as others who have some experience in oil paint and would like an intensive day of exploring colour. Colour mixing and colour relationships will be the main focus of the day. In the morning, we will go over the basics of palette set-up, look at some interesting ways colours 'interact' in modern and old master paintings, discuss some basic colour theory, and complete several quick and accessible colour exercises. After lunch you'll have the chance to work on a longer painting based on a landscape image, incorporating your experiences with colour from the morning. You will leave the workshop with a better understanding of how colours interact and having tried out some new approaches to colour in oil painting.

This four-week short course offers a chance to learn or review foundation skills in observational drawing, inspired by some of London's amazing collections of art and objects. We'll meet at a different collection each week, including the British Museum, the V&A, the Wallace Collection and the Grant Museum of Zoology (UCL). The course will cover different aspects of drawing each week, beginning with gesture and mark making, measurement and proportion, then building tone, creating a sense of texture and more. Each week builds carefully on the previous one, so that after the four sessions you should feel confident sitting down and drawing on your own. We will look at lots of drawings from art history for inspiration as well.
This course is perfect for total beginners and drawers with more experience who want to revisit the basics. If drawing in a public place sounds intimidating, don't let that stop you as most people find it surprisingly easy once you start. Class size is limited to 8 students, and a great deal of individual attention is given. Marcia has taught drawing in museums repeatedly over the last 25 years and always finds it incredibly inspiring. She will bring all the materials needed each week, so you can just show up and get started. The museums we visit all have free entry.
