Blooms and Bulbs - Still Life Oil Painting Course


  • Yardley Arts, The Old School Hall The Square, Yardley Hastings Northampton, England, NN7 1EU United Kingdom (map)

A two-day course focusing on producing still life oil painting using a loose approach and exploring tone and colour to describe the subject, without overworking.

Learn Penny’s method for painting flowers with oil paints. We will also reference the work of artists Michael Klein, Daniel Keys and Kathy Anderson.

Very insightful with easy to follow instructions. Penny was very approachable and I
felt able to ask questions without feeling silly
