Oil painting practice for beginners
Oil Painting Foundation
This studio course is for adults who want to learn oil painting from the ground up. Whether you’ve never touched a brush or are switching from acrylics or watercolor, this program will teach you the right techniques — layer by layer.

By the end of the course, you’ll complete 3–4 original oil paintings and understand how to continue confidently on your own.
- How to safely set up and work with oil paints
- Brushwork, color mixing, and oil mediums
- Value studies, underpainting, and tonal mapping
- Wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, & glazing techniques

This course is for adults who want to explore oil painting in a structured, supportive environment. It’s ideal if you:
- Are a complete beginner in painting
