This course provides the next step after you have completed the first part of Painting with Marcel. 

Important instructions on how to get started and how oil paint works are covered in the first course.

If you already have a basic knowledge of oil painting, you will find this course very valuable by adding the layering and glazing technique to your own method.

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.

Much like any art form, painting is for everyone. That’s what this course is all about.


You might have been thinking for years, one day, I would like to learn how to paint with oils. I wish to destroy the myth: You need to be born with a special talent to be able to paint. I believe painting is for everyone and I have proven it over the years with my tried and tested tuition.


Not everyone aims to become a professional artist. Some would like to inspire their friends and family, or to create a beautiful gift for their loved ones. Most of all, many would like to develop a lifetime occupation or hobby that will bring priceless personal rewards and satisfaction in years to come.


If you are looking for a solid technical base for your project, this course is designed for you. The content is divided into short step-by-step demonstrations making the learning process easy to follow. I went through years of research and practice learning the hard way by myself. This 4 lessons course would have saved me so much precious time. This is why I am very happy to share it with you to fast track the learning process and get results from the beginning.

This course is closed for enrollment.
