Private Tuition

If you'd like to join me for an oil-painting class and learn some valuable tricks of the trade whilst tackling a still-life or a portrait of your furry friend, please contact me by clicking on the button below. All tuition is one-to-one or shared (if you'd prefer to bring a friend) and takes place at my studio, The Oil Lamp, in Hadleigh. 

 

A day in the studio

A typical day begins at 10 am and runs till 4pm with a break for some home-cooked lunch. 

​

What's covered?

In the morning we will loosen up with a bit of tonal drawing and then focus on creating a strong composition in paint that we can build up, layer by layer, in the afternoon. I will be on hand to guide you through every brush-stroke, lending advice on how to apply and mix the paints, manage your colours to maximum effect and lend variety and vigour to your mark-making. My aim is for you to leave the studio with a complete or semi-complete painting that you can take home with you. 

​

Equipment

I will provide you with all the tools you need to create a successful painting including a primed board, a pallet set out with a broad range of the highest quality oil-paint, brushes, medium, easel and set of detailed notes and tips with which to return home. I will also provide refreshments throughout the day and a home-made lunch. Post tuition, I am also happy to provide, if required, some critical analysis and feedback by email.

 

Price 

The price for a day is £125 per person or £150 for two. If you would like to share the lesson with another then I would recommend booking from the months of May to October when we will have the opportunity to spread out into the garden. Individual tuition is available throughout the year. Lessons will need to be booked and paid for in advance with payment due a week before your workshop begins.
