“I was a complete beginner when I joined Emily’s workshop. But Emily gave me the support and confidence to paint. With time, I painted the great masters, including Degas. I have sent my son in Australia my paintings which hang proudly in his home. The classes are so relaxing. I have made lifelong friends. Emily is a brilliant teacher. I cannot recommend her classes highly enough.”

I’m Emily, a professional artist who has run hundreds of oil painting workshops in my art school.
