WELCOME to Summer academy, place where you will focus and enjoy oil painting techniques.
Oils are one of my favorite medium to paint. In Fact, at uni, we have painted only with oils, this is why I have so much experience with this beautiful medium.
If you have ever painted with oils after acrylics, I guarantee, you won’t come back to the acrylics so easy. Oils are rich in structure and so much fun. The are based on oil so dry much longer then traditional acrylic medium.
I have decided to run this workshop academy for anyone who would love to discover more, learn about oils and how intuitively you can paint. If you always wanted to try it, this academy is definitely for you. Also, If you were always afraid to touch oils as you simply didn’t know much about it.
This Summer oil painting academy will help you to discover all!
But it isn’t only about oils. We will also dive deep into techniques, how to paint intuitively going deep into our heart space and create from there, most importantly what paint and tools to use. As an experienced oil painter I will share with you all my tips and techniques.
You don’t have to have any experience, in fact this is for a beginners.
This Summer Academy will be divided on to two parts; it is a lot of information to share, just to make sure I will cover everything for you and add the practice too.
Each workshop will take approx. 90min and will be conducted via zoom.

Set of brushes, 3-5
cloth and something to cover so you won’t put paint on your clothing

for Part 2 of this academy, you will need linseed oil, bottle with spray, spatula, old small sponge.
