Join celebrated artist Rachel Milne for a hands-on, inspiring 4-week beginner Oil Painting series designed for those new to the medium or looking to refresh their skills in a supportive, creative environment.

Over four guided sessions, Rachel will introduce you to the fundamentals of oil painting – from mediums, equipment and setup to colour mixing, composition, and painting techniques.

You will explore the fast alla prima application as well as the slower more considered layering process, giving you the chance to find what works best for you and discover the possibilities of this beautiful medium. Each week will build on the last, helping you gain confidence and develop your own artistic voice.

Rachel will offer one-on-one guidance, constructive feedback, and tips for continuing your oil painting journey beyond the series.

This workshop offers a relaxed and welcoming space to explore your creativity. Limited spaces available so please book early to secure your spot!
