Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any experience?
Not at all. Whether you’ve never touched a brush or you’re an "improver" looking to refine your style, Marcia tailors her demonstrations to suit your current skill level.
What should I wear?
Oil painting can be messy! We recommend wearing old clothes or bringing an apron to protect your garments.
What happens after the first session?
You'll leave with a completed (or well-underway) piece and a curated shopping list. From the second session onwards, you’ll bring your own kit to continue developing your personal style.
