    You will learn to create a hyperrealism oil painting from the printed reference. The reference is provided. Each workshop will have a new original image designed by Antonio for you to work from. Next years image is yet to be decided. I’ll post it here when Antonio has chosen it.

For the oil painting masterclass I will email you the list of brushes, oil paints and supplies. It’s the same materials list as the 2022 and 2023 class for those of you who have attended then. The course is given in Spanish with an interpreter translating Antonio’s teaching to English. If you need another language get in touch. Side note: I personally travelled to Rome in March 2022 especially to take this course and it was amazing. So I can happily recommend it. Since then I have taken a further 2 masterclasses with Antonio and I credit him and his mentoring with the greatest improvement in my art practice.
