Recent reviews of Deep Dive Into Oil Painting Course
- 5/5 from Alka V Chandiramani, attended Jul 2026: I’ve spent the past month working with Ian on my very first oil painting, and it has been such a rewarding experience. What makes Ian special is his ability to guide without taking away your individuality. He knows when to step in with technique and, just as importantly, when to step back and let you trust your own creative instincts. Patient, encouraging and incredibly generous with his knowledge, Ian made me feel comfortable while inspiring me to take myself seriously as an artist. I started wanting to learn oil painting and finished with an ambitious piece we genuinely created with inspiration — and the confidence and excitement to create my next one. Thank you, Ian, for helping me discover a new creative side of myself. Look forward to working with you again next summer!
- 5/5 from Abbey, attended Jan 2026: The Deep Dive Intro was a great introduction into oil painting. It took me from never having drawn before to wanting to buy my own easel and paint. Great pace, relaxed setting, good stories and great music to set the vibes. Time just flew... I even created my own little masterpiece. Thanks
- 5/5 from Katie Strong, attended Jan 2026: Wonderful, personalised classes that meet you where you are. Ian is kind and fun and funny and clever, a month of great Saturday mornings to look forward in a beautiful, airy, bright artist studios in a pocket of London full of unexpected history. Ian is a very talented painter and a fountain in interesting fact and art history and patient tutor.
- 5/5 from Dariya, attended Oct 2025: I absolutely loved this oil painting course! Ian is a fantastic instructor, the course is set in a superb studio with an atmosphere that is perfectly conducive to creativity. The overall experience was remarkably calming and felt like a true escape - a meditation for the mind. Ian is highly attentive, providing support exactly when you need it, while simultaneously encouraging you to challenge your skills and boundaries. Highly recommend!
- 5/5 from Oana Ciurescu, attended Oct 2025: 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.
- 5/5 from Maya Hoang, attended Oct 2025: Such an amazing course and amazing teacher! Thank you so much Ian for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us and inspiring us over the past 3 weeks! I have learned a lot and really enjoy every session!
