This afternoon painting guide to help you fall in love with oil painting at home.

People participating in a painting workshop, creating landscape paintings of a sunset with trees, on a table covered with art supplies, sketchbooks, and beverages.

If every art tutorial you’ve tried feels too complicated or made for someone with a full studio ~ this is for you!

You don’t need expensive supplies, endless layers of paint, or a perfect studio.

You just need to know where to start and how to build flow.

This free painting guide shares how I bring moments of nature to life through oil paint ~ right from home. Inside, you’ll find my colour palette, brush techniques, and simple exercises to help you create your own oil painting from the comfort of your home.

Whether you’re new to oils or returning to your creative self, this guide will help you slow down, connect, and create with ease.
