On this short course, we will explore traditional oil painting and its fascinating techniques. The course will start with a tour of Leena Luostarinen’s exhibition ‘Misfit’, where we will soak up inspiration and create drafts for our own pieces in the exhibition space itself. From these drafts, we will progress stage by stage to a finished painting, learning as we go about colour mixing, building shades of colour, and painting in layers. Over the duration of the course, we will each produce 1–2 carefully crafted paintings on canvas.

We will be painting with water-mixable oil paints that do not require strong solvents and are almost odourless. All the materials and equipment required on the course are included in the price. 

Visual Artist Rauha Aaltonen will be leading the course.

This course is suitable for both beginners and those with painting experience. The workshops are directed at adults and young people ages 16 and up.
