Oil Foundations — 5 weeks · €259 · Max 10 people
A structured painting course for complete beginners or anyone who's been curious about oil but never known where to start.
Oil paint has a reputation for being complicated. Slow to dry, easy to overwork, a lot of unwritten rules. Most of that reputation is just what happens when no one shows you the basics properly.
Over five weeks you'll learn how oil actually works: how to mix it, move it, build it in layers and finish with a painting you made yourself, start to finish.
The group stays small on purpose. Max 10 people, same faces each week. Enough space to actually learn.
What you'll do over 5 weeks:
Week 1: Get comfortable
Meet your materials, mix your first colours, and make some simple studies. Oil paint behaves differently to anything else. Week 1 is about understanding that, not fighting it.
Week 2: Build confidence
A series of quick paintings to loosen up, explore composition, and start feeling at home with the medium.
Week 3: Start your painting
Map out your composition and block in colour. The canvas is no longer empty.
Week 4: Add depth
Develop light, shadow, and texture. This is where oil paint really starts to show what it can do.
Week 5: Finish and make it yours
Individual guidance, final decisions, and a finished painting you actually want to keep.
What you'll need
Everything else is provided.
Good to know: This is not a drop-in class. Your spot is reserved across all 5 sessions.
No experience needed, just show up!
