Oil Painting with Confidence | Marcel Desbiens

This is suitable for anyone that have the basic knowledge of working with oil colours and started to develop technical skills and wish to take it to the next level. If you are new, you can join our 4-week Introduction to Oils Course with all materials included: Introduction to Oils | 4 weeks Bienarté

You are now ready to apply those techniques in real time on a subject you may want to paint at home.

At this important stage of your learning, it is important to keep the motivation and gain confidence.
