Oil Painting Essentials with Cheryl Wilcox

Wednesday 2nd and 16th June

Bookings close 26th May and 9th June

Painting is drawing with a brush……work hard on drawing.

Week 1 – Burnt umber Portrait pick-out from photos

A pick-out is when we use one colour usually burnt umber or a transparent colour to get all the values and the highlights are ‘picked out’ This process is often used as the first stage of an oil painting. Jocelyn Maughan used this technique in her portrait of Ken Sampson that won the 2019 Gosford Art prize (photo on right).

Week 2 – Self-portrait ‘pick-out’.

I will take individual photos of Wednesday 2nd class. Come prepared to do your ‘self-portrait’ on the 16th. (I will have extra photos for those who missed the 2nd June session.)

BONUS – Zorn colour Palette, I will demonstrate how to create and use this amazing palette.
