POCKET PICS: BEGINNER OIL PAINTING WORKSHOP
26th Jul 2025
Have you ever been quietly curious about oil painting but weren’t sure how of where to begin? Join us for a relaxing, beginner-friendly workshop where you'll be gently introduced to the timeless art of oil painting through the beautiful Alla Prima technique (an expressive method where paint is applied wet-on-wet), allowing you to complete your miniature artwork in a single sitting.
Working on miniature canvases, you'll explore the delicacy of miniature oil painting, allowing you to slow down, channel your focus & express your creativity using a limited colour palette. Whether you're a beginner wanting to dabble in a new medium or simply wish to enjoy an afternoon of painting, everyone is welcome.
Workshop tutor Lauren is a self-taught artist who, following a degree in graphic design, decided to return to her love of art, focusing on hyper-realistic pencil drawings before branching into oil paint. Since then, she has continued to develop her style, which specialises in miniature still life studies.
