Workshops and Courses

I love passing on my painting skills and helping others to get the same joy in oil painting that I do. Oil painting has a reputation for being a difficult medium, but I think it is one of the easiest. Once you’ve learned a few techniques and practised a bit, you’ll be happily surprised.

I run painting courses for complete beginners in small face to face groups in Kelso in the beautiful Scottish Borders. All materials are provided as are refreshments and a simple lunch. All you need to bring are your enthusiasm and a bit of patience. I suggest wearing something old that you don’t mind getting a bit of paint on.

The one day courses take place in Kelso Community Centre, a beautiful old building next to Kelso Abbey that used to be Walter Scott’s old school.
