Whether you are beginning your journey as an oil painter or would like to learn new techniques we have a number of different courses which we hope will be of interest. All of our courses are taught in small groups and involve a mix of demonstrations and practical painting exercises designed to make you a better artist.
If you are an art group or society looking to book an artist for a demonstration we would be delighted to talk to you. Paul can tailor a demonstration in oil painting to meet the needs of your members and the time available for your group. We would also be pleased to discuss arranging workshops for your group, whether they be as a follow up to a demonstration or separately.
Pewsey Vale Studio is run by Wiltshire artist Paul Oakley. Mainly self taught, Paul has developed his skills as an oil painter through attending Norfolk Painting School and, as well as exhibiting, enjoys sharing what he has learnt and continues to learn through running courses and giving demonstrations. All of the courses listed on this website will be taught by Paul and all of the pictures shown are either originals or studies painted by him.
