🎨 Master Oil Painting: The Art of Commanding Light, Color, and Emotion

Welcome to the Master Oil Painting Lessons — an immersive journey designed for artists ready to elevate their craft beyond technique and into true artistic mastery. Here, you’ll refine your control over composition, color harmony, and brushwork while developing the signature style that sets a master apart from a painter.

Through these lessons, we’ll dive deep into the secrets of the old masters — from layered glazing and scumbling to the orchestration of warm and cool tones that make a canvas breathe with life. You’ll learn how to infuse intention into every stroke, translate emotion into atmosphere, and use light not merely to illuminate, but to reveal truth and spirit.

Each session is a dialogue between precision and intuition, discipline and freedom — a bridge between classical tradition and your own creative voice.

🖌️ This is where artistry transcends technique.
Let’s begin your transformation from skilled painter to master of oil.

Informations supplémentaires

Here’s a basic essential equipment list — perfect for beginners starting in oil painting without getting overwhelmed or overspending:

---

🎨 Essential Oil Painting Equipment List

🖌️ 1. Brushes

A small variety is enough to begin:

2 Flat brushes (medium and large) – for blocking in shapes.

2 Round brushes (small and medium) – for lines and details.

1 Filbert brush – for smooth blending and curved edges.

💡 Synthetic or natural hog bristles are both great starters.

---

🎨 2. Paints

Start with a limited palette of high-quality artist oils. This helps you learn color mixing and saves money.
Recommended basic colors:

Titanium White

Cadmium Yellow (or Yellow Ochre)

Cadmium Red (or Alizarin Crimson)

Ultramarine Blue

Burnt Umber

Burnt Sienna

💡 With these six colors, you can mix nearly any hue.

---

🧴 3. Mediums & Solvents

Used to thin paint and clean brushes:

Linseed oil – for smoother paint and subtle shine.

Odorless mineral spirits (OMS) – for thinning paint and cleaning brushes.

💡 Keep mediums in small jars with lids.

---

🖼️ 4. Painting Surface

Choose a ready-to-use surface:

Pre-stretched canvas

Canvas board

Oil painting paper (great for practice)

💡 Make sure it says “oil primed” or “ready for oil paint.”

---

🧰 5. Tools

Palette – wood, glass, or disposable paper.

Palette knife – for mixing paint.

Rags or paper towels – for cleaning and wiping brushes.

Brush cleaner jar – or any container for solvent.

---

💡 6. Studio Basics

Easel – table or floor-standing.

Good lighting – natural light or a daylight lamp.

Apron or old clothes – oil paint stains permanently.

---

✅ Optional (but very useful):

Varnish – to protect your finished painting after it dries.

Gloves – if you want to avoid skin contact with solvents.

Small sketchbook – for planning compositions.

Présentation

Neal is a classical realist oil painter and dedicated teacher whose work is rooted in the timeless traditions of representational art. Drawing inspiration from the Old Masters, he combines rigorous technical skill with a deep respect for observation, craftsmanship, and beauty.

Trained in the principles of the atelier method, Neal emphasizes drawing as the foundation of painting, the careful study of light and form, and a disciplined approach to composition and color. Each painting reflects a commitment to truth — not only the visible truth of nature, but the quieter, inner truth that emerges through patient work and honest seeing.

As a teacher, Neal is known for his clear, structured instruction and an encouraging, attentive manner. He guides students to build confidence in their technique while cultivating sensitivity, intention, and personal vision. Neal believes that mastery in realism arises from both discipline and humility — a willingness to look closely, think deeply, and strive for integrity in every brushstroke.

Based in the nature of Finland, Neal continues to paint and teach in the classical realist tradition, working to preserve and pass on the enduring values of craftsmanship, beauty, and authenticity in contemporary art.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Holder of a Bachelor's degree in contemporary dance and creation of multidisciplinary performances from the Iceland University of the Arts, a Master 2 in Art Research & International Creation from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, I am an artist member of the International Dance Council at UNESCO.

My professional experience extends internationally where I had the opportunity to work alongside various renowned companies and to organize internships in France, Iceland, Sweden, Mexico, Czech Republic, Spain, Turkey and Asia. Also, I had the opportunity to dance for haute couture houses during Fashion Week in Paris.

I teach contemporary dance, technical floorwork (floor work), contact dance and classical dance. My classes focus on mindfulness, musicality, harmonization of energy flows, improvisation, muscle strengthening and coaching in choreographic composition for competitions, exams, galas, and weddings.

I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer with fifteen years of experience. I studied art and architecture at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Columbia University in New York. I teach painting, drawing, digital image and creativity. This class is ideal for beginners but also intermediate students who want to develop their own style.

For my personal projects, I work in a wide range of mediums, from drawing, painting and printmaking to digital image and 3D Printing. When teaching, I prefer to first focus on free-hand drawing and painting as this allows for greater spontaneity regardless of the student's technical level. We later explore other methods based on the student's individual interests. I like to teach children and adults via mini projects involving art history references and help them develop narratives around their work. I deeply believe in people's creative potential and in my classes will help you channel your own voice.

Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 12 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

After three years of studies in applied arts (decorative arts and design), two years of preparatory studies in art and design, and two years of art school, I offer my services to teach art and design through courses and workshops.
These cover a wide range of topics, from art therapy to learning artistic methods, including building a portfolio for admission to art school.
I therefore offer personalized training courses, tailored to the needs of each individual.

Le propos de ces ateliers est d’aborder la peinture par un biais, par exemple l’improvisation, sans recherche précise, simple exercice.
Si la possibilité nous est offerte, de nous engager dans une proposition créative, encadrée, sans jugement ni pression, nous pouvons devenir créateur et découvrir notre propre source d’imagination. Il s'agit avant tout de se laisser porter par le plaisir, d'expérimenter cette énergie comme un jeu et une source de bien-être. Il est essentiel de quitter les notions présupposées selon lesquelles “mon art” devrait avoir cette forme plutôt qu’une autre. Nous cherchons la surprise. Ces ateliers sont ouverts à tous, sans prérequis.
Techniques et processus originaux pour mettre en confiance et ouvrir un champ d’expérimentation inaccoutumé.
