Deepen your practice with renowned artist Mustafa Özel
Join us this September for a very special 3 day oil painting workshop with renowned artist Mustafa Özel.
Mustafa will guide you through his approach to portrait and figurative painting in oil, working with a life model. You will gain a bespoke insight into his distinctive approach to oil painting.
Take this unique opportunity to develop your skills in relation to anatomy, colour, tone, constructing a palette, mark making, and developing emotion and expression in a painting under the mentorship of a highly experienced and celebrated artist in this medium.
Mustafa will also share and discuss core artistic principles – both theoretical and practical, as tools to gain a greater understanding of portrait and figure painting, helping you develop your own practice and artistic style in a way that is true to you.
