Recent reviews of Oil Painting Workshop
5/5 from Alexandra Wang, attended Aug 2026: Such a wonderful class and peaceful experience
5/5 from Giulio Digiacomo, attended Aug 2026: The variety of artistic classes is great and the oil painting class was very fun and relaxing! Loved experimenting with colours and seeing the final result come to life slowly. I'll definitely try other classes in the future.
5/5 from Meheret Ashenafi, attended Jul 2026: Angela was amazing! She was very patient and showed me how to paint a complicated landscape. I would definitely recommend this workshop.
5/5 from Joely To, attended Jun 2026: Amazing experience with guidance given for colour mixing and ideas. Really great way to spend an afternoon!
5/5 from Kingsley S, attended Apr 2026: Had Gemma as our teacher, she was very kind and friendly and made it a lovely experience. Would recommend!
5/5 from Anastasia Trofimova, attended Mar 2026: I really liked my class and enjoyed time there. The team is really helpful and nice!! It might be quite hard for people to find the art’otel if not familiar to the area and on google maps it is shown in the wrong place.
5/5 from Smeeta Kotecha, attended Mar 2026: I thoroughly enjoyed my class with Matilda. She was very helpful guiding me throughout the class. Will definitely do it again!
5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Mar 2026: I had such a wonderful experience at this oil painting workshop. It was my first time working with oils, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Gemma is an incredibly patient and attentive teacher. She guided me step by step with so much care, always noticing the smallest details and offering gentle, thoughtful advice. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed—instead, I felt completely supported throughout the whole process. What surprised me the most was the final result. I genuinely didn’t expect my painting to turn out so striking and beautiful. It felt almost magical to see something I created come to life in such a vivid and expressive way. This experience has made me fall in love with oil painting even more. Thank you, Gemma, for such a perfect and inspiring class.
5/5 from Kalani Thirulinganathan, attended Feb 2026: Fracensca was am amazing teacher. She helped me learn how to create my first oil painting. She was super patient and encouraging. Material was really good too. I will be back next to learn how to make those goegeous candles.
5/5 from Nader Alizadeh, attended Feb 2026: Amazing experience, highly recommended
4/5 from Simran Bedi, attended Feb 2026: Our teacher Francesca was fabulous! Really enjoyed the class and would definitely do again! Francesca was excellent and really appreciate her but I think she was spread across a few different classes (candle making/ pottery) which meant there wasn’t much support for the first hour. We would have benefitted from an intro to using the brushes/ mixing paint and also guidance on what was realistic to paint in a 2.5 hour class. For the price of the class, we would have appreciated more guidance. However as the other classes wrapped up and there was only painting left, this meant we got much more support and was really enjoyable!
5/5 from Anthony Brennan, attended Nov 2025: Super lovely teachers and so nice they had snacks and refreshments. My only critique is that it’s quite dark inside, so couldn’t always tell the colour that was on my canvas.
3/5 from Nicola Morgan, attended Aug 2025: Fun atmosphere but it would have been nice to have a little more direction - I was more or less left to my own devices
