Recent reviews of Beginner Oil Painting Workshop
- 5/5 from Sarah Chandlee, attended Sep 2026: Lovely class with a super friendly and knowledgeable instructor. Great for a first time trying oil paints, and 10/10 recommend!
- 5/5 from Maryam Norouzi, attended Sep 2026: I had such a lovely time at Mentative Art Gallery today! It was my first oil painting class experience and I absolutely loved it. The whole experience was relaxing, fun and really enjoyable. I’m so happy with my painting and can’t wait to do another class. Highly recommend!
- 5/5 from Nelly Oroumchi, attended Sep 2026: It was my first time attending a painting class, and it was honestly one of the best experiences! Effie is an amazing teacher, and her method of teaching makes everything feel easy and enjoyable. I couldn’t believe that in just one session, I was able to create a complete painting. I’m so proud of what I achieved and absolutely loved the whole experience. Highly recommended! ️
- 5/5 from Janice Kam, attended Aug 2026: The class was very fun! Effat taught well, she shows patience and a passion for painting. Would highly recommend!
- 5/5 from Lynda Lim, attended Aug 2026: Really enjoyed the class and learnt a lot about how to approach oil painting. The colour mixing and rationale behind it was something new to me and will help a lot!
- 5/5 from Robyn Minty, attended Mar 2026: I had a great day! I have never attempted oil painting so as a beginner I needed step by step help. Effie explained every step I needed but also pre-empted my next steps when I was getting the hang of it. It’s a homely atmosphere in a quiet spot in the suburbs achieving great things. I enjoyed the company of the others as well. The support was great, I didn’t have to work out what to bring so with an extra charge I was happy to pay I got the whole kit including paints and brushes …. Most impressive was the disposable paint palette which took the mess right out of my day of messy painting! Thanks for a lovely ‘timeout’ day!
