FAQ

- What if I have never painted before?
If you have never painted at all, in any medium, I would reccommend joining a Weekly or Drop in class first, as oils are more refined - get in touch if you are unsure.
- I haven't painted in years but loved it and would like to restart, can I join?
Yes, I will cover basic techniques in the first class and we will advance!
- Can I bring my own paints and equipment?
You are welcome to, but all materials will be covered in the cost of the classes.

- Is this a private 1-2-1 class?
No, this is a group class setting. In the first couple of classes we will all work towards the same goal, and then in the final 2 classes there will be an option to choose from some different images to paint from.
- What if I can't attend all the lessons?
If you can attend 2 or less, I would recommend not booking. If you can attend 3 out of the 4, please get in touch to speak with me, it is possible we can do a catch up class in one of my Weekly Classes starting in September.
- I am an experienced oil painter, is this class for me?
This class is for beginners in oil painting or for people who have just started and may enjoy a refresher. Please view my Weekly Classes which might suit you more if you have a confident skillset already! Would love to hear from you.
Is there a toilet?
Yes.
