The Figurative Painting Class provides an in-depth journey into capturing form and expression through paint.

By combining theory, practical exercises, and personalised feedback, participants enhance their skills in both drawing and painting from life. The classes focus on applying and manipulating oil paint to master depth, texture, and mood, with special attention to light and shadow, composition, and cultivating a unique artistic style.

Suitable for beginners and seasoned artists alike, this class offers a supportive space to refine techniques and deepen one’s understanding of painting.

The figurative oil painting class is offered on a termly basis. Each week is a new challenge, meaning students don’t have to attend every week. However, spaces are limited, so please book your space now.
