Unlocking the Artist Within - An oil painting workshop
with Vjekoslav Nemesh
|
Saturday 27th June and Sunday 28th June
12pm-3pm both days COST: $150 for one day or $275 for both days. The price includes 1-2 medium-sized canvases (50 x 40 cm) per day as well as all the tools necessary for the workshop. This workshop is not about rigid rules. It is about discovery, confidence, and expression. My approach encourages participants to work intuitively and courageously, experiment freely with oil paint, build confidence regardless of skill level - let go of perfection and embrace process. Oil painting is a rich, forgiving medium that allows depth, texture, and emotion. Through guided demonstrations and individual support, participants will learn how to handle oils with confidence while developing their own artistic voice. By the end of the workshop, each participant will complete at least one finished oil painting per day, often two, regardless of prior experience. After more than 40 years of painting, exhibiting, and teaching, I have developed a series of oil painting workshops designed to welcome everyone, from absolute beginners picking up a brush for the first time, to professional artists wanting to experiment with oils, to experienced painters seeking to loosen up and explore new creative directions. Workshop hours are from 12 am to 3 pm each day and limited to 10 participants for a highly interactive experience. To make your booking contact Nemesh: 027 22 44443 or [email protected] |
