About the class

Discover the exciting world of oil painting in Fremantle Arts Centre’s light-filled studio! With the guidance of Richard Gunning, you’ll learn colour mixing, form, and tone, while working on several paintings over eight weeks.

Through demonstrations and individual support, Richard will cater to your personal skill level, making this class perfect for beginners or those looking to refresh their painting techniques.

A basic painting kit is required, and additional materials will be provided. Once you're familiar with the materials, you can gradually expand your kit.
