Acrylic and Oil Painting Courses

Acrylic Painting Course

This 24 part course is designed to show you how to get the best out of acrylic painting.   Each week there is a project to paint and each one helps you learn a different style or technique.  If you have never used acrylics before, then this is the course for you!

Oil Painting Course

In this online oil painting course I will teach you all you need to know about using water-soluble oil paints (or you can use traditional oil paints) in a fresh and exciting way. The course is carefully written to take you through a structured learning process.

What's the difference?

Oil Paints are slow drying, which means that you have plenty of time to make adjustments to your painting.  They dry exactly the same colour as when wet. I recommend using water mixable oils which do  not smell and your brushes and palette can be cleaned with  water. 

Acrylics make a good alternative to oil paints and are incredibly versatile. They dry very quickly, don't smell, have fantastic rich colours, and can be used in a variety of ways. They do dry a shade darker, so you have to account for this when painting. Brushes and palettes can be cleaned with water.
