What to Expect
Discover the joy of oil painting in a welcoming and supportive studio setting designed for beginners and early-intermediate painters. Whether you want to capture the likeness of a beloved pet, create a stunning portrait, or paint a beautiful landscape, this course offers the perfect introduction.
