Oil Painting from Life
with Mustafa Özel
September 19th - 21st, 2025 at Segotia Dublin
Join us this September at Segotia, Dublin for a 3 day oil painting workshop with artist Mustafa Özel.
Under Mustafa’s guidance, you’ll learn his approach to portrait and figurative painting in oil working with a life model. During the course of the weekend, participants will gain insight into Mustafa’s distinctive approach to oil painting.
The workshop will focus on topics such as anatomy, colour, tone, constructing a palette, mark making and developing emotion and expression in a painting. Mustafa will share and discuss core artistic principles - both theoretical and practical, as tools to gain a greater understanding of portrait and figure painting.
