Oil Painting Workshops

Just a few more places left for the Oil Painting Workshop Starting this Friday 4th October.

First session:
The idea will be to get you painting. I’ll put together a simple set up in the studio and I’ll show you how to go about painting it.
We will look at composition and image placement.
We’ll get your equipment sorted out and I’ll show you how to map out your painting.
We will look at mixing colour, brush technique and ways of helping your painting build into a more successful piece of work.
We’ll cover drawing and ways to make it easier, along with notes on inspiration and the best subjects to paint.

The workshop starts at 10:00 until 13:00.
If you let me know you are coming I’ll email you directions to the Studio and a list of what to bring – its just a few ks’ outside Periana.
Its 15 Euros per person and we will run a workshop every 2 weeks.

Oil Painting Workshops

Oil painting workshops

Starting Friday October 4th - 10:00 – 13:00

With Steve Godfrey

This Autumn I am beginning an oil painting workshop at my 

studio in Moya (Nr Periana)

This is an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in oil painting 

to learn a whole host of innovative techniques and tips from 

an experienced artist.

Some of the things we will cover at the workshop;

materials and equipment, surfaces to paint on, what to paint 

and how to get started. 

Drawing, brushwork, colour mixing, and painting outdoors.

We will look at ways to make your paintings come alive with 

the use of perspective, colour and subject choice.

I will show you how to go about painting still life’s, landscapes 

and live figures. 

My style is impressionistic with a strong ground in traditional 

techniques. I combine these techniques with modern subjects 

and styles exploring still life, landscape and figurative.

I’ve spent many years adapting to being an artist in this part of 

the world. I know what materials and subjects are available here 

and where to get them. I know some great locations for outdoor 

painting and I can show you how to use photographs and the 

Internet to help you develop as an oil painter.

The workshop format is based around  6 parts with a session 

taking place about every 2 weeks. 

These sessions are designed to be fun and informative and will

help you progress and improve your development as an oil painter.

For further details and information and to secure a place at the 

workshop please email Steve at:

Each session will be 15euros and there are 5 places available at

Update 01

I’ve been painting some local landscapes recently, I’ll be showing them at the exhibition on 17^th May.

This view I spotted up on the old railway track near where I live.

Fun with a burnt stick!

I was inspired looking at some of the charcoal work by one of my favourite artists Casey Bough.

This is charcoal on paper 30cm x 40cm and is taken from a stock shot I found. She is called Darla.
