The oil painting course was thoroughly enjoyable, and I learned so much as beginner. Ian explained the techniques clearly and offered helpful guidance on many aspects of our work. The studio space—and all the artwork displayed—is truly beautiful and inspiring. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for exploring oil painting. I’d highly recommend it.
