I had a brilliant time - Gordon was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. I took the class as a refresher after a long break from painting and loved getting back into it, especially with all the handy tips and techniques that Gordon taught me. Would thoroughly recommend the class!

We booked as a couple and had the class to ourselves - Gordon was an incredible teacher and allowed us to paint whatever picture we had in mind. We had a great chat with him about art at the start, and he taught us some basic concepts about oil painting (how to create depth, where to begin / how to approach the painting etc). Gordon was very encouraging and taught more complex techniques as and when they would be useful to enhance the painting. We will definitely be back :)

Such a great session. It was a perfect blend of freedom and structure. It was truly a fantastic experience. I learned a lot about this new medium. And since he has been a professional artist for 37 years, he has a lot of tips and wisdoms to share that come with experience. Highly recommend!

This was such a lovely and bespoke experience. I didn't think that I would get that much insight and knowledge from a 2-hour session, but I was mistaken. It was perfectly paced, and I left inspired to keep painting.
