I really enjoyed the class. Really relaxing and a wonderful start for me as a beginner.I felt confident in what I was doing and am eager to learn more about oil painting and can’t wait to do another class.

Lucky me - to initially have been treated to my beginners class in oil painting with Allan via Obby and then to have him run it although one other had cancelled and so it was a 1:1. Very enjoyable at just the right level of tuition and experimentation.
Haraman - 9 April 2022
Enjoyed learning some colour theory and painting our own pieces
Fiona Barton - 8 April 2022
I have to be honest i was a little sceptical about my class (not sure why) but it exceed my expectations. I learnt so much from Allan last night - he taught be to be bold and just stop over thinking things when painting. I learnt a lot and Allan is really patient and really interesting and it was a lovely evening. I will definitely do another class with Allan.

A really good introduction to oil painting. Alan is methodical in his teaching as I have never painted with oils before. He explained the properties of the paint, the solvents and canvases. He taught us the colour wheel which you need to know in order to create the exact colour you want. This is a class you can book again and again as he teaches to your level and there is so much to learn!
Bisha Zahid - 22 October 2021
Alan is a great teacher! We started with the basics which was totally worth it. I feel much more confident in my ability to mix colour. I didn’t think it would be helpful but it was! I will definitely be returning. One of the best art lessons I have had.

Allan is a Great teacher and a very good artist, as well as being an interesting and nice guy. Me and Mick had a really great time.
hillarine martin - 10 August 2021
Attended Alan’s class. I found it interesting and gave me an insight into how to use oil paints and a better understanding of how to mix colours using the colour wheel. He was also very encouraging and I came away more confident and gained some experience using oil paints. I was surprised at the end result of my painting. Would Defo recommend to anyone and thinking of attending again.

Highly recommended! Very informative, lots to learn from Allan. Perfect for beginners and amateurs who would want to learn from well established artist.
Eleanor Dougoud - 18 December 2020
Fantastic lesson.
Explained colour theory, got to experiment with oils. Very much looking forward to continuing my journey into oils.
Ka Chow - 13 December 2020
This is my 2nd class and my 2nd review.
it's a bad experience. It's not fun, stress and upsetting.
i'm beginner doing oil painting. Thanks for telling me my painting is ugly, blend and I'm "Miss Precise".
Completely knock my confidence and I will not attend another class.
Romina syeda - 5 November 2020
Alan was very welcoming and very enthusiastic about art and offered good insight and advice. I've recommended this class to friends and family.

Vanessa Yu - 22 September 2020
The class was excellent and Allan was very friendly. Took time to explain colour theory as I’ve never oil painted before. Would highly recommend to others who are interested in oil painting!
Yuki Chen - 11 March 2020
Allan taught us how to mix colours with oil, and I painted my first ever oil on canvas. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and will do it again.

Excellent day
Liliana Narita - 10 November 2019
I bought this class as a gift for my friend birthday and she really loved it.
AIsha Sillah - 18 September 2019
Amazing! Made me realise abilities within myself that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to find. Allan and Mila were great as well; made us all feel really welcomed and supported us through our work.
The journey was definitely worth it! Thank you x

Good fun

Allan was a very engaging tutor and constructive in steering me down the right path where oils are concerned. He is very accommodating and I’m sure our paths will cross again as I need further tutoring
Sirena Chan - 3 June 2019
I learnt a lot from just one class with Allan. He gave us really useful colour mixing techniques and painting guidance which really helped me improve my skills. By the end of the day I had produced a piece of artwork I was really pleased with. Great location with a good size room to work in. Highly recommend!
Louisa Campbell - 27 March 2019
Hi there,
Yes I really enjoyed this workshop. As Allan does so many, I felt he still cares about whether we had got the process or not. Would recommend to any of my friends. The most important thing about this teacher is, there's freedom of speech. Nothing is taken too seriously, which is perfect when painting. He is very encouraging and allows the creative flow to just..flow! Haha. Thanks
Virginia Sara-Jayne - 27 March 2019
Inspiring, interesting and thought provoking art class, which is tailored to each individual’s needs snd capabilities. Allan is skilled at developing and giving confidence to each person, and listens to what they want to achieve. Freedom is given to enhance your own talents, and to learn how to obtain your own unique style in a non conformist and non conventional way. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Lindsay Williams - 26 March 2019
I did enjoy the class but would have liked a more detailed outline of the class content. Essentially it centred on the Colour Wheel and mixing colours.
Had I known this, i would probably have chosen a different class.
More details on each class please!
Cecilia Smallwood - 26 March 2019
As a complete novice to the art of painting, the introduction to the colour wheel and the blending of the 6 primary colours was interesting and useful. I am pleased to have experimented with oil painting, and much as I love oil paintings, I’ve decided on a practical level it would suit me better to apply what I have learnt to painting with a different medium, possibly acrylics.
The duration of the workshop was just right as an introduction, knowing that smaller, more focused workshops are available for someone wishing to take the interest further.
