Training in classical oil painting

Join my Oil Painting Training Course to build a strong foundation in oil painting techniques. This flexible course focuses on essential skills like drawing, colour mixing, learning to see, and paint application.

Course Structure
This flexible course allows you to attend sessions that fit your schedule. Each session covers a specific subject, guided by me, with exercises for independent practice and personalised support.
Sessions typically last 3 hours. Bring your own materials, and I’ll provide a recommended list upon booking.
Beginners and experienced artists can grow at their own pace.

Materials Needed for Classes
Please note that fees do not include materials. Practising outside class is essential for progress. Beginners will focus on drawing only, while those starting to paint will need a basic set of paints after we discuss your needs.

The course is offered in person or online (as well as hybrid).

Three pillars of painting

Draftsmanship & Form

The Limited Palette

Indirect Painting

Begin with drawing and tonal studies to master value relationships, structural drawing, and the behaviour of directional studio light.

Transition to oil using a restricted classical palette. Learn precise colour mixing, temperature control, and paint handling.

Apply advanced glazing and scumbling techniques. Build luminous layers that capture the depth of the Australian atmosphere.
