Welcome to Landscape Painting! Welcome to my studio. I'd love to invite you along to explore the beauty of painting landscapes.
Landscape Painting is a six-week hands-on painting course designed to help you create beautiful, atmospheric landscapes while building confidence with colour, composition, and technique. Whether you're completely new to painting or looking to develop existing skills, you'll be guided through the process step-by-step and leave with a finished painting you're proud of.
In this course, you'll learn how to simplify and compose landscape scenes, mix natural colours with confidence, create depth and atmosphere, and capture the beauty of the natural world on canvas. Through demonstrations, guided exercises, and individual feedback, you'll develop practical skills that can be applied to future paintings long after the course has finished.
If you've ever admired a landscape painting and wondered how artists create a sense of distance, light, and mood, or if you've wanted to feel more confident painting nature, then this course is for you!

Welcome to my Studio! I’m Rachel — a self-taught artist, educator, and lover of colour, light and storytelling. My studio is a warm, inviting space in Camberwell where we slow down, play with paint, and make art that feels good.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to art after a break, my classes are all about confidence, curiosity and joyful creative expression. We focus on hands-on learning, gentle guidance, playful prompts and a friendly, no-pressure vibe — because art should be fun and supportive, not intimidating.
From beginner oil painting courses to theme-based workshops and monthly sketch groups, each session is designed to help you see better, paint with more confidence, and enjoy the experience of making with others. You’ll leave with new skills, new art, and often new friends too.
All materials are provided, and every class is taught in a cosy, welcoming setting where there’s no “right way” to create — just your way. ️
