You may have heard of Bill Alexander and his TV Programme ‘The Magic of Oil Painting’……you may have heard of one of Bill’s students – none other than Bob Ross of ‘Joy of Painting’ fame….both Alexander (above) and Ross (left) could produce an entire landscape in under half an hour on their respective television shows!

The secret to this technique lies in the base medium – a thin oil base, often white in colour, applied direct to the primed canvas.  This is the first layer of ‘wet’.  Thick oil paints are applied on top of this base, making it easy to move, mix and blend colour direct on the canvas with just a few strokes of the brush.  This is the second layer of ‘wet’ – hence the ‘wet on wet technique’.

Special tools are used for this technique too.  There’s large bristle landscape and blender brushes, designed specifically to make clouds, trees, bushes and lakes in just a few strokes.  A special angled palette knife will make the most beautiful mountains too.

It really is true that ANYONE can oil paint the lovely landscapes shown on this website, regardless of skill and artistic talent.  With my expert and experienced guidance you’ll discover hidden talent that will astound you.  If you can hold the brush I can show you how in my easy step by step classes.  I offer a money back guarantee on your first class – if you’re not happy with your results you get a full refund.  (………………and I’m happy to say I’ve not given a refund yet!)

Once tried, the chances are you’ll be bitten by the painting bug.  What nicer way to unwind?  What’s more, you can create hand made paintings for your friends and family to cherish and admire.  At Ayoubart we offer you everything you need to carry on this hobby at home, from our popular instructional DVD’s to brushes, easels, paint and tool supplies.  Our products won’t break the bank either, with many money saving tips and hints shown at our classes.

There’s absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain – all equipment and materials are supplied for you – you just need to turn up at a class and let me do the rest.
