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.

Had a great time at this class, learning the basics of oil painting. It was super fun and interesting, especially good once your painting starts to come together after applying the techniques. Jasper was a brilliant host and the venue is really cool, nice atmosphere with some chilled jazz setting the tones. 110% recommend!

This class was brilliant! Jasper was a great teacher who broke down painting into easy-to-digest techniques and I ended up being very happy with what I made - which was a change for me as I'm not the most natural artist, to say the least. It's also in a great location in the Northern Quarter, and the vibes in the studio are on point. I would highly recommend!

A really great class and such a rarity to find an oil painting class… I’ve been looking for years for one like this! Jasper was a very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and patient tutor and I finished the 3 hour lesson having learnt so much as well as having a painting I was proud of. A great way to spend an afternoon!

I wanted an introduction to oil painting, as someone who has only ever used acrylics - this was a way for me to see if I like the medium. The class was really well organised, with all materials provided and Jasper was very helpful and patient. Really enjoyed and would recommend!
