In my online oil painting class, I focus on creating a calm, creative, and pressure-free atmosphere. You won't be limited to copying images or following one fixed style. Instead, you'll learn the essential skills you need and use them to paint what you truly want. This class combines technique with imagination, so every artwork carries your own touch, feelings, and personal style.
We begin with understanding form and volume using only black and white. Through this process, you will learn how light, shadow, and structure work. Step by step, we then move into the world of colour, facing new and exciting challenges together.
I provide complete freedom to explore and experiment. The aim is not to produce a perfect copy but to help you discover your own artistic language where creativity and technique meet. This environment is peaceful and stress-free because painting here is also about expressing emotions and enjoying the process deeply.
A finished artwork is not expected after every session. Depending on the size of the work, your pace, and the complexity of your idea, a painting may take several classes to complete, and that is completely natural in this process.
You will finish this course feeling more connected to your own artistic voice, with the confidence and skills to translate your unique vision onto the canvas.

FAQ

What can students expect from your classes?
The main difference between my classes and most other art lessons is the focus on fundamental and practical skills. In many painting courses, students follow a fixed routine that starts with still objects, then moves to nature, and later to portraits or figures, which can feel repetitive or even boring. In my classes, you will learn the essential skills that allow you to draw or paint anything you want. This approach makes the learning process more enjoyable, creative, and useful for my students.

I’m Nahal, an artist and tutor based in Newbury, with around seven years of professional experience in the art world. What began as a childhood fascination with pencils and colours has grown into a creative journey through exhibitions, publications, and years of sharing my passion with others.
At my studio, I guide beginners and intermediate learners through sketching, graphite pencil, coloured pencil, and oil painting. My workshops are relaxed, inspiring, and focused on building strong fundamentals while encouraging freedom and creativity. Students often find themselves progressing faster than they expected, enjoying the process as much as the results.
I believe that every artwork tells a story — a reflection of emotions, thoughts, and memories. For me, teaching art is not just about technique; it’s about helping people express themselves and rediscover the joy of creating something truly personal.
