Tips & Insights
We know it can be a daunting feeling picking up a paintbrush for the first time, or exploring a brand-new medium.
Our online ‘Getting Started’ oil painting and watercolour painting courses are the perfect place to begin, giving you a comprehensive grounding into both watercolours and oils.
