Oil Painting Workshops with professional artist John Bissett

Join professional artist John Bissett for oil painting workshops at Mansfield Museum, painting from the museum's collection of taxidermy birds.

Using a limited palette of five colours, John will show you how to start with the drawing and big shapes, then build up colour and light. It's a simple way to learn how much you can do with very little, and an approach you can use in any kind of painting, from portraits to landscapes.

All abilities welcome and all materials provided. If you'd like to bring your own materials and experiment, you're very welcome to. The class is as much about creativity as learning.

Saturdays 28 November, 5 December & 12 December, 11am to 1pm
