Oil Painting Classes for Beginners
Ed is delighted to be hosting another term of ‘Oil Painting for Beginners’ from March 2026.
Location: Holywood Yacht Club, Kinnegar, Holywood
Dates: 12, 19 & 26 March; 2, 9 & 30 April; 7 & 14 May
Join artist and Vault Member Ed Reynolds for a comprehensive series of oil painting classes, set within the inspiring setting of the Holywood Yacht Club.
Designed specifically for absoloute beginners and those returning to painting, this programme demystifies the process of working in oils — from understanding materials and mixing colour, to mastering brushwork, composition, and layering techniques.
Through clear demonstrations and supportive individual guidance, you’ll gain the confidence to create expressive, balanced paintings while developing your own visual language.
Each session builds progressively, allowing participants to move from foundational exercises to more complex compositions in a relaxed and creative environment.
