You might want to bring your own mug for coffee and your own brushes and pencil. No need to bring paints or paper, we will provide this for you.
Watercolour and Oil Painting
watercolour.
For watercolour class we ask that you bring your own materials and paper
We have studio easels and table-top easels for everyone. For any outdoor classes we have sketching easels as well.
Unlike many other art classes, you will have two tutors working together to help you with your painting. Justin and Nicola Cooke are both professional artists who exhibit throughout the UK.
We demonstrate everything we do, so you can see the methods first hand.
The price for each watercolour session is £18.00.
Oil Painting
We can provide Windsor and Newton, and Rowney oil paints in these classes and this is included in the price. All you will need to bring is a canvas or board to paint on, some brushes and an idea for the painting project you would like to do, (this could be a large painting you wish to work on over several weeks, or a different project each session.
Oil Painting tips.
In each session we will give you tips and demonstrations so you will learn about everything from the differences between linen and cotton canvas, how to prepare a board, using painting media, glazing, impasto with palette knife , choosing and trimming brushes.... the list goes on. We will then help you individually on the painting you are working on.
You are welcome to join us at any of these sessions. Let us know if you would like more information or would like to book in for a class info@thestudioartschool.co.uk
Both the Oil painting and the watercolour classes are run at the same time - so you can take your pick!

It's not just the venue
Upwey is a delightful village in Dorset, UK, situated between Weymouth and Dorchester. It is surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the South Dorset Ridgeway.
There could be no better place to hold our classes than the old village school. But it's not just the venue that is important; it is what we have created for our classes inside. Care has been taken to provide everything needed to transform what would have been an empty space into a proper art school studio, so that when you come to a class you step not only into an old village school, but into a true Art School experience.
