Whether you are beginning your journey as an oil painter or would like to learn new techniques we have a number of different courses which we hope will be of interest. All of our courses are taught in small groups and involve a mix of demonstrations and practical painting exercises designed to make you a better artist. Sadly our courses scheduled for between March and June have been cancelled as a result of coronaviras. We very much hope to be up and running again in July. A full list of courses for the later part of the year are at the bottom of this page. 

Pewsey Vale Studio is run by Wiltshire artist Paul Oakley. Mainly self taught, Paul has developed his skills as an oil painter through attending Norfolk Painting School and, as well as exhibiting, enjoys sharing what he has learnt and continues to learn through running courses and giving demonstrations. All of the courses listed on this website will be taught by Paul and all of the pictures shown are either originals or studies painted by him.
