Our Painting Classes

Bob Ross said that anyone could learn to paint, all they needed was the desire. Many people want to paint, but they don’t think they have the skills. Come to one of my painting classes with the desire, and we will teach you the skills.

We are holding regular all-day painting classes in Milton Keynes and Buckingham. You will see a subject painting, and we will show you how to paint it. We will teach you in a simple step-by-step manner, that you will follow. We will demonstrate a step, and then have you repeat that step on your own canvas. By the end of the day, you will have produced your own work of art. You will take your masterpiece home and be proud to hang on your wall.

In some cases we will give you the subject, and you will be able to paint it in your own colours

Either complete our contact form or email me Russell Collins for further information.
