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.

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.

“Excellent tuition and a super relaxed class. Jasper was a very patient teacher and helped break down the process for oil painting in easy steps. I really enjoyed how we chose our own composition and created our own individual art.”

“Great workshop. Our teacher was very friendly and welcoming. The workshop was very well structured it was broken down in to easy to follow steps. Our teacher was very supportive and extremely knowledgeable. Having never used oil paint before I left with a credible picture and more importantly the knowledge and confidence to take this forward in my own time. Thank you very much, great session.”

“I find the course enjoyable and very visual. I was instructed clear through teacher’s explanation by written down notes. It is because of my deafness which was hard to follow so the written notes was very helpful. I learnt a lot about the painting on how to use colour and light/dark tones and how to clean brushes. I’m glad it went well and really happy with the outcome of my oil painting. Look at picture of my painting of Apple and Lemon. I would go again next time. Thank you so much.”

“Loved taking this class with Jasper! Very informative and exactly the sort of entrance to oil painting I had been looking for. Jasper's instruction was clear and easy to follow, and his insights into everyone's paintings and how to improve them were great. Would love to do another!”

“Lovely class, relaxed atmosphere with jazz music on in the background. There ended up being just 3 of us, all of us had come on our own. The teacher was so knowledgeable and really helpful, he gave us a lot of painting tips! I had never used oil paints before this class but it felt easy when the teacher broke down the steps. I can't wait to attend another class”
