Learning to paint the colour wheel

Learn the basics of painting with oil and create your own exquisite masterpieces.

Painting is more than just placing shapes and colours on a canvas, it is a mode of expression, a tool for self-development and building confidence. Perhaps I could add, most of all it is an art form.

This course is closed for enrollment.


My 8-week course “Foundations in Oil” is designed for a step-by-step progressive learning. For a better integration of the process, it is important not to skip any of these lessons. You will find in this video the complete content with theory and tutor’s demonstrations for each exercise of week 2 as completed in studio at Bienarte. If you cannot attend the in-studio class, this online class is a great opportunity to catch up in your own time at home.
