Last week I was fortunate to attend a one week oil painting class at Central Saint Martins, the class was taught by Mike Major.
I really had a great time. It was a small class of about 8-9 people, all working in oils.
We had the same model all week - 4 poses. 3 one day and a two day to finish off.
First day,- - free to do what we wanted 
Second day, as it was a small class we couldn’t move our easels around the room. At first I hated my view. But was pleased with the end results. For this we used earthy colours, basically we couldn’t use any strong colours.
Third day. No brushes, no fingers, only pallet knife. For all these paintings we put a wash on first, for this I used a strong pink.
The first of a two day. Only four colours- Light yellow, dull green, dark red... and black! Sorry can’t remember the exact names.
The final canvas after two days, sadly not yet finished on the bg.
big thanks to Uli
