Often, when I talk to people about painting these are some of the things they say

 

You read a book about painting, you buy all the recommended brushes and paints, you have a go but it doesn't work very well.

So, you buy another book that recommends completely different brushes and a new range of colours.  You purchase all these and have another go - that didn't work either.

You buy yet a third book and buy yet another recommended range of brushes and colours.  Still not happy with the results you give up, convinced that you will never be able to paint.  (you are now also very poor!)

Every book you read will suggest different materials and different methods.  The secret of learning to paint is to decide on your medium, decide on a few basic brushes, decide on a few basic colours and stick to them like glue.  When and only when you feel confident, move on to using more colours and trying new techniques. 

 

If you have never painted before, or had little or no success then I suggest you have a go at the BOB ROSS  'wet-on-wet'™ method of painting. This is a method of oil painting that you really ought to try. Because the paints are worked onto a wet canvas, an oil painting can be completed in one session with stunning results.

 

I run one-day classes, at the end of which you will go home with a completed painting.

I supply ALL the equipment you require in order to complete your painting.  When you decide that this method of painting is for you then there are various stockests around the country who stock the BOB ROSS 'wet-on-wet' ™ oils.

Most people who have attended these classes are so motivated by this method of painting that they then go on to try watercolours and pastels as well.
