Friendly well taught oil painting class :)

Love classes with Allan. Very friendly environment, great encouragement, it's really helped me find my feet in the art.

Allan is great. I used to do oil painting but had called out of practice and his class was a great refresher. I'm now excited to paint again and I look forward to my new class and finishing the painting j started.

This was exactly what I wanted when I booked this oil painting class. Allan was patient & informative, offering varying levels of instruction to the small number of students (of varying skill level) in the studio. He provided an excellent creative environment & a wealth of knowledge in oil painting.
