For students who want more direct instruction, we will cover topics such as how to use the colour wheel, complimentary colours, light and shade, shading and colour tones, how to choose a colour palette, composing a painting, as well as approaches to handling paint, brush selection, and using palette knife.
For the first class experienced students can bring along whatever paints and materials they may already be using & project to work on. Beginners will be provided with materials for the first class & then advised by tutor on materials to buy.

Students who have personal painting projects that they want to pursue in class will be offered one-to-one tuition on how to progress their painting(s). For students who want more direct instruction each week we will cover a particular feature of painting with some in-class exercises that will give the student practice in that topic. Topics we will include : how to use the colour wheel, complimentary colours, light and shade, shading and colour tones, how to choose a colour palette, composing a painting, as well as approaches to handling paint, brush selection, and using palette knife.
For the first class students can bring along whatever paints and materials they may already be using, but students shouldn't invest much in new materials until they take some advice on what might be the most economical and effective (and limited) purchases to carry their exploration of painting forward. Sufficient materials will be available in class on the first evening.
The tutor, John O'Flynn, has worked as a fine artist, illustrator, designer and architect in many different roles over a four-decade career in the art and design field. He has degrees in architecture, drawing and illustration, and a postgraduate diploma in art teaching from NCAD. He is a member of the Dublin Painting & Sketching Club.
