I am delighted to offer one-to-one tuition for highly motivated children and teens with a genuine interest in oil painting.
It doesn't feel so long ago that I was sitting in a weekend art class with glitter and a Pritt Stick, feeling very grumpy because no one seemed to be willing to show me how to make pictures that looked like the ones in museums! These lessons are for young artists who share that same curiosity and drive; those who want to learn proper painting techniques and master real skills.
I do not recommend oil painting for very young children (under 8). Even with strong motivation, their fine motor control is still developing, which can make the process overly frustrating. Older children and teens tend to have the patience and coordination to get the most out of lessons.
Fees are £30 per hour, which includes all materials.
Parents are welcome to stay in the studio with their child during lessons.
Please contact me if you’d like to arrange lessons or if you have any questions.
