Martin reviewed: Beginners and improvers oil painting workshop

"I did a one day course and loved every minute of it. Ernie is a great teacher and I found his advice and teaching invaluable. I could already paint a bit but was a bit stuck in a rut, but I left Ernie's with some great new ideas and techniques to develop and it has really enlivened my painting and enjoyment of it. I'll certainly return and would recommend to anyone."
