Oil Painting 'Wet on Wet'
- with Ciara Roche

  • Arrow Saturday 7th March

A workshop that focuses on wet-on-wet painting. We will guide participants through the artists process from beginning to end to demonstrate best use of materials and mediums before we begin quick timed painting exercises that focus on getting participants familiar with the techniques of wet-on-wet painting. Participants will work from life, their own photographs and found imagery.
