Drawing and painting class in several different media

This is a general oil painting course of larger scope than the Oil Painting for Beginners Course and is intended to provide a wider experience of the possibilities of oil painting. The course provides one-to-one lessons in all of the key foundations, all three of the main methods (alla prima, layered and impasto) and several of the common subjects (including portraiture).

By the end of this course you will have made at least 17 oil paintings.

The beginners course is a series of one-to-one lessons giving the essential knowledge and techniques that absolute beginners need to start making their own oil paintings.  This is a precise introduction that will serve as an excellent base from which to begin practicing at home and then for further courses or tailored tuition. 

By the end of the course you will have made at least 6 oil paintings.

Oil painting for beginners by the Watford and Bushey Art Society

wonderful painting in acrylics

I run my very popular 4 hour workshops most weekends throughout the year.If Im not doing a craft fair I will be doing a workshop!
The classes are suitable for people who have never held a brush in their hand before to people who have painted for years! If you have always painted using tiny details this may be the thing for you-it will help you loosen up and be free, take look at the snaps page of my website and my guest book to see what people have to say about it!
I supply all the materials needed to complete a 40cm x 50cm painting—paints(depending on the class subject)—oils or acrylic paint,high quality box canvas, brushes and most importantly the tea, coffee and biscuits !
The detailed instruction is step by step—-everything is explained as I show you how to use each brush.I will show you how to load the brush with paint and how to apply it to the canvas.Each painting turns out different to the next persons as everyone interprets what I show them differently from the next person.
There is a wide variety of course paintings-each one has something new to offer the students-a new technique is learned in each class.Some of the classes are in oil, some in acrylic and some are combining both at the same time!.
The classes are very laid back as well as being imformative, I only have a maximum of 7 students each time so I can give lots of attention to everyone.
Many of my students come back again and again,and lots of friendships have been formed in the classes!

The results are always very good and I offer a money back guarantee to anyone not entirely happy with their painting.
I keep my website updated with subjects,dates and place numbers available-many of the classes get fully booked as soon as I set dates for them!  www.paintingmyway.co.uk

We have a great Travel Lodge a few hundred yards away from the class venue, as well as some great B+Bs nearby. Ludlow has lots of things going on for non painting partners.I have students from all over the world come along for workshops and they are all coming back for more!
