Simply Oils Channel: Start With Oils (6 Oct)

Everybody is working from home now, so if you'd like to use oils in your studio and try painting as a way to simply relax or even make a little income, then we can help.

Since 2007 Simply Oils has been our signature course for artists wishing to learn oils or transition to them from another medium.

In this 120 minute live interactive demonstration we show you everything you need to start oils the right way from making low odour professional fast drying glazing and painting mediums, which solvents to use, and how to recycle them, how to create fast drying boles and gessoed panels, plus what you need to set up your oils studio, including which oil colours to choose for your favourite genre, which easels to choose, and even how to make a professional oils palette and self cleaning ready pot for your working brushes. It's the complete 'how t' from professional oil painters which will save you hours of frustration and ensure you don't waste money on buying expensive kit you don't need.

This interactive lecture covers everything you need to know, and unlike a pre recorded video allows you to ask questions to ensure you fully understand the information on offer.

This session is an ideal companion to our other Simply Oils channel courses, as well as a brilliant way to get more out of StudioTalk and Masterclass demonstrations if you are new to the School, or simply need to refresh your core skills.
