This is a fun activity in Manchester

Join us at our oil painting class in Manchester where you will learn the basics of working with oil paints. In this workshop, you will discover how to use mediums, layer with different paint thicknesses, and understand the behaviour of oil paint.

Beginners will have the opportunity to paint simple subjects like a piece of fruit, delving into concepts of colour separation, shading, and composition. Experienced oil painters are also welcome to refine their skills and techniques.

- Learn how to utilise mediums and layer paints effectively
- Understand oil paint drying times and how to work with them
- Explore the basics of shading and drawing techniques

Starting with an insight into the class, you'll then enjoy step-by-step guidance from your friendly tutor. Throughout the experience, you will work with traditional oil painting materials and tools, guiding you in creating your own masterpiece to take home afterwards.

“Thank you for such a brilliant afternoon. We learnt a lot in a short space of time and came away with our paintings which looked more impressive than I'd expected i was capable of. Tutor was excellent and there are opportunities to return. Loved it thank you”

“Relaxing and informative introduction to oil painting. Our tutor, Jasper, took us expertly through the process of turning apples & lemons in to art. A thoroughly enjoyable and engaging afternoon. Highly recommended. Chapeau Jasper!”

“Absolutely loved this workshop - such a cosy space and Jasper was lovely. I have a little experience painting but none with oils, so this was the perfect introduction. It was a really chilled atmosphere and we had plenty of time to finish our paintings. The guidance was detailed and helpful, but you could still work independently. Highly recommend! I’ll be looking to do more sessions.”

“Jasper was a very nice teacher. He taught us about the paint itself and demonstrated a step by step technique for creating a 3D effect using tonal values. We completed a small painting of fruit. It was a small group, so there was lots of (unobtrusive) attention and opportunity to ask questions. Good value as all materials were included. My advice would be to take a container of some sort to put the painting in as it was difficult to transport home whilst still drying.”
