Description
Explore your creativity – join one of our regular classes for a taster session. Get a real feel for how our oil painting courses run by joining one of our regular classes. Led by one of our experienced tutors, this relaxed and inspiring session lets you experience the authentic atmosphere of our weekly lessons. You’ll be introduced to the key principles of working with oils, including how to mix colours, handle brushes, and use mediums to control drying time and texture. You’ll learn about the traditional process of building a painting in layers—from underpainting and blocking in shapes to developing detail and refining form. Whether you're new to oil painting or transitioning from another medium, this class provides a solid foundation in technique while encouraging your creative expression. In your class you're welcome to work on a subject of your choice. Our tutor will guide you throughout the session, offering personalised tips, demonstrations, and one-on-one support. With no more than 10 students per class, you’ll receive plenty of individual attention. Find out more details about our oil painting courses here. At Sunny Art Academy, our tutors come from some of the most respected art schools and studios in the world, including Central Saint Martins, the Royal Academy of Arts, and traditional ateliers in Florence and Paris. They are highly skilled artists with strong teaching experience, and they bring both their expertise and passion to every class, helping students grow in a supportive and inspiring environment. Due to the complex nature of oil painting we do ask you to bring your own materials to this class or you can purchase them on our website here, if you need advice on what you might need feel free to contact us.
