Private Face to Face Tuition with Martin Kinnear
An exclusive, fully tailored day in my studio designed for and with you to turbocharge your practice.
This is the most focused way to move your painting forward. You set the brief—by genre or subject—and I shape the day around technical, creative, or commercial mentoring to suit you. Whether you want to master glazing, strengthen composition, develop a distinctive style, or build a gallery-ready portfolio, we’ll work exactly where it matters most for your practice.
Who I am: I’m an award-winning oil painter, Royal College of Art (RCA) graduate, Paris Salon Laureate and RCA visiting lecturer, with work in the UK Government Art Collection, a public gallery solo show record, dozens of gallery shows and opens, and two decades of mentoring painters at every level.
