“We took my parents to this class as a gift, and we all had a wonderful time. Gordon was a fantastic teacher. He explained the technical aspects of oil painting in a way that was easy for complete beginners to understand, while sharing fascinating facts, history and plenty of great stories along the way. He personalised the class to our interests and kept the tone light and relaxed, which made the whole experience feel really enjoyable and accessible. Gordon helped us choose photos from our phones to paint and then guided us through creating our paintings during the session. He offered helpful tips and encouragement throughout, while continuing to share interesting and amusing information. He was incredibly patient with all of us and made sure that we each ended up with a painting we had genuinely produced ourselves and could be proud to take home. We all had such a lovely morning together and honestly couldn’t recommend this class enough. Thank you so much, Gordon, for your time, patience and wisdom!”

“Gordon was a great teacher. I had previously mostly drawn, not painted, and i had very worked with oil. He was very open to all my questions but also guided the lesson very well acording to my specific level and what he saw I was curious about. 10/10”

“Gordon is a fantastic teacher with an incredible depth of knowledge. As a complete beginner to oil painting, I found the whole process quite intimidating at first, but Gordon took away all the mystery and fear. He explains things clearly, makes the sessions enjoyable, and creates such an encouraging and supportive atmosphere. His teaching style is both inspiring and confidence-building, making learning feel fun rather than overwhelming. I left after one session feeling motivated, excited, and much more confident in my painting journey.”
