His Landscape Painting in Oils workshop is the perfect painting introduction for kickstarting your artistic journey, with a workshop that is ideal for both beginners and improvers.

Set in a friendly and supportive environment, Cordell’s workshop follows a step-by-step process giving you the confidence and skills to produce your own landscape oil painting. Working from a reference photo you’ll learn core skills including:
• Painting confidently with oil paints
• Mapping and measuring a landscape using perspective

Through Cordell’s live demonstrations, expert guidance and individual tuition, you’ll finish the day with your own completed landscape painting.
