"I have greatly enjoyed tuition in oil painting with Sonny, building up from understanding the importance of basic principles to now painting portraits with some confidence. He has immense patience, while ensuring attention to detail. I can thoroughly recommend him." J.H.
Set Courses
The set courses are offered as an alternative to an individually tailored program of tuition. Each course has its own distinct purpose, whether to get the absolute beginner up and running, provide a general grounding in the possibilities of oil painting or to focus upon one particular subject or method in depth.
The courses are taken on a one-to-one basis.
View details on current courses:
Oil Painting for Beginners Course
General Course in Oil Painting
Special Course in Portrait Painting
Special Course in Abstract Painting
Special Course in Colour Mixing
Schedules
The schedules are flexible to fit personal circumstances, but you will be required to work out a fixed regular schedule, even if only one lesson per month. The length of lessons will vary, for example, lessons on colour mixing can last for as little as 1 hour, but lessons in which actual paintings are made may need to last as long as 4 hours or more.
Levels of Courses
The courses are designed to be equally appropriate for both beginners and those with some experience. All concentrate on developing skill within the key foundations which are appropriate to all levels and each student is allowed to work at a level appropriate to their own experience. The only exception being the Oil Painting for Beginners Course, which is most suited to beginners.
Fees for All Courses
Courses can be paid on a pay-as-you-go basis after each lesson or in blocks of hours paid in advance at a discount.
