What this course is not!
These courses are not about painting abstractly, or to encourage you to paint like me. They are about building your skills with Oil and Cold Wax medium so that you can make YOUR paintings with confidence.

Course FAQs
WHEN DOES THIS COURSE START?
This is a self-paced Level 2 course which means it can be started as soon as you sign up. On enrollment, you will be provided with access to all content immediately. You can work through the classes at your own pace.
IS THERE INTERACTION?
The course has a forum where you can share your work with other students taking the the course. I drop by occasionally to see how everyone is getting on. Unlike my scheduled courses I am not following your progress but you can always email me at sally@sallyhirst.co.uk if you have a question.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME?
As long as you like! I have planned the courses based on two weekend workshops (4 days) in my studio. But unlike an in-person workshop you can leave layers to dry to get the best out of the media, and you get lifetime access to the content and can revisit it anytime. I recommend you take at least 2 weeks to do each course working for 4 hours a week.
CAN I PAY IN ANY CURRENCY?
Of course! The payment is set in GBP as I am in the UK but when you pay it will convert to your own currency.
Payments are made via Stripe, a safe and secure payment platform, using a debit or credit card.
