If you like to paint in oils but still feel overwhelmed with the painting in layers (indirect painting method) or if you like to keep your studio solvent-free, this class is for you!

I've spent years researching ways to make my painting process more efficient and straightforward.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

I will share my painting workflow which is full of tips and tricks spiced up with a bit of theory on oil painting to help you to make an educated decision on what part of it you want to incorporate into your practice.

In this class, you'll learn:

how to keep 'fat over lean' principle simple
