Paint your own Christmas card

Learn at your own pace and in your own space

After 14-years of teaching oil painting this is everything you’d expect from one of my popular Weekend Workshops or Oil Painting Thursday courses, except you have the option of learning in the comfort of your own home. One-to-one tuition is also held in my studio at Bath Artists Studios.

No expensive kit-lists, ALL MATERIALS are supplied, making it perfect for people wanting to try oil painting for the first time.

I can bring the studio to you, but we don’t need loads of space. A good-sized kitchen table with room for two people is enough.

Subject matters

Included in your booking is the choice of one of my specially designed photo reference cards covering still-life, landscapes or portraits. There are options for all levels of experience, from beginners to beyond.

My photo reference cards are designed to help guide students through the oil painting process and include colour-swatches to aid colour-identification and mixing, plus a guide to tonal values to inform structure. Students can supply their own photo references, or for an additional cost, bespoke photo reference cards can be created for £120 per card.

No white spirits or turps

NO white spirits or turps are used during the one-to-one sessions. We only use Zest-it products to clean our brushes or dilute our paints, so we don’t create too much smell. I only like to use the best materials and all of my Michael Harding oil paints are non-toxic, classed as vegan and hand-made in Wales. My brushes are from one of Rosemary & Co’s top synthetic ranges, Ivory, and hand-made in Yorkshire. As they’re synthetic they’re also vegan-friendly.

I can’t recommend Rob’s tuition highly enough. It’s brilliant fun and has been quite transformative for me. He’s incredibly enthusiastic and encouraging, and works with your own interests. I now feel like a painter and look forward to pursuing my art even more.
