Private Tuition
If you'd like to join me for an oil-painting class, learn some valuable tricks of the trade, and return home with a joyous still-life painting of flowers or a portrait of your furry friend, please contact me by clicking on the button below. All tuition is one-to-one and takes place at my studio, The Oil Lamp, in Hadleigh.
I offer two packages: 'The Introductory' or 'The Complete a Painting' bundle.
The Introductory
The Introductory is a three-hour session which combines some art theory, a bit of drawing to loosen up, priming a board, composing a painting, and the initial stages of layering up. The Taster costs £70.
The 'Complete a Painting' bundle
This package combines The Introductory with a follow-up session of three hours in the studio guiding you through the final stages of completing a painting. The end goal being that you can leave the studio with a finished work of art that (hopefully) makes you smile having explored some of the key aspects of successful picture-making to include mark-making, colour-management, identifying your style-bricks and applying the paint.
Both packages come complete with one-to-one guidance, (plus notes) the use of all materials, including a primed board, brushes and paints, a well-stocked garden to unwind in or draw inspiration from, a useful library of old master books to peruse and refreshments available throughout. The bundle costs £125. To reserve your tuition all sessions must be booked and paid for in advance.
