Oil Painting Basics live online workshop

You’ll have a full year of access to the recordings!

This is the workshop I wanted when I started painting in oil!

Learn how to get started with oil painting. Learn about the different materials, how to set up your painting area for the most satisfying results, and paint two small paintings with me, to practice putting paint on canvas.

“I can’t tell you how excited I am to find you and finally make a decision to paint again. I have been in my oil paint four days in a row.  Saturday was so fun. I loved painting with a limited palette. That was an eye opener. […]  I do believe with some guidance I can achieve what my mind envisions. Sincerely, ” – Anne Marie
