Had a great time , easy to get to from Canning town , friendly group and flexible tuition. Cant do a lot in 3 hours , we just focussed on colour mixing, preparing canvases , types of brushes etc . Lovely studio, very relaxed, great if you live locally and can use as your drop in studio. Friendly tutor

The class was structured well, I recommend it to others. I enjoyed learning about colour theory and having autonomy about my painting

This was an amazing class which completely took me out of my comfort zone of watercolours and into the wonderful world of oils. Even though my brain took a while to understand the differences, and put it into practice, Ian explained it very well and had so much patience that I really enjoyed it and would definitely book again. Thank you so much.

Ian delivered an excellent oil painting class, it had been a therapeutic class where he shared his expertise and techniques of colour theory and using oils on canvas. I would recommend this class to anyone looking for peace and tranquility or a creative space to be free

Absolutely loved the class, was really relaxing and Ian really makes all of the concepts make total sense! I am a total novice (never painted before ever) and I took lots away and found a new hobby. Well worth it even if you go alone like I did.

This oil painting class takes place in a really lovely, calming studio space—it felt like the perfect environment to slow down and get creative. We each got to work on our own painting, which we could take home at the end or give as a gift. Ian, the teacher, is clearly very experienced and passionate about oil painting. He gave us helpful guidance but also encouraged us to explore our own ideas and style. I learned a lot about how colors work together, and the whole process felt both relaxing and fun—especially if you go with a friend or a group. All the materials were provided, and considering that you leave with a finished painting, I thought it was great value. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a creative day out or a unique gift idea.

Such an enjoyable class! You get to learn more about the art form and colour theory, which is super interesting, as well as having ample time to put it all into practice with high quality materials. Ian was excellent throughout, and even kindly let us stay on for longer to paint! Couldn’t recommend it more — perfect for all skill levels.
