Beginners Oil Painting Landscape Workshop | Sun 10 May 2-5pm | Adult Art Class

£50.00

Time: 2-5pm
Date: Sun 10th May 2026
Location: Millworks, Field Road, Busby, G76 8SE

Used by many of the Masters, oil paints are known for creating some of the most famous paintings of all time. But they’re not that scary, honest. This workshop is perfect as an introduction to use them. You’ll be painting along with Bob Ross in no time!

You’ll learn how to use oil paints, different brushes to use, layering your paint, colour mixing, creating textures and leave with a finished painting using all your new skills!

Perfect for beginners that have never painted before, or those that have used other paints such as acrylics or watercolours, but not oils.

Please note, we will be using water mixable oils for this class. They work just the same as ‘normal’ oils (we’ll be using the same mixing medium) but just less chemicals. Even if it’s ‘normal’ oils you’ve got at home, I promise these will still teach you the same things.

All materials are included in the workshop

Why this class?

Learning how to use oil paints can seem daunting, but by looking at mixing colours and how we apply the paint in different ways, it really simplifies the process. Oil paints are relatively simple, once you get used to the slower drying time and ease of colour mixing. Brilliant for animals, landscapes, still life and everything inbetween.

Enjoy an afternoon away from it all to learn some new skills, have a chat and zone out! I keep a very relaxed class.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided, but you’re more than welcome to bring your own refreshments too (wine is allowed!)

Venue

The venue is in my new studio in Busby, Glasgow. It’s a 10 minute walk from Busby Train Station and the number 6 bus stops nearby too. There is free parking outside the venue.

Unfortunately the room is on the first floor with no lift access. My sincere apologies if this is a barrier to you attending.

Timings

Class will start promptly at 1pm, so please arrive 5 minutes early to allow for settling in. Class will end at 4pm.
