Developing your own painting style to a more professional standard is difficult.

When you overthink how you want to paint it’s easy to get analysis paralysis and it might feel impossible to take the first step towards a better style. However, one of the habits of all successful people is that they take action.

Focus On courses are proven, practical structured steps to building a professional oil painting style in one of three popular genres. You can take one stand alone course, a set of four devoted to your favourite genre, or even all twelve as a fully structured interactive online painting course.

Colour gives you everything you need to become a successful direct Colourist, Glazing shows you the skills, techniques and insights you’ll need to stand out as a traditional indirect painter, and our Figurative courses focus on creating figures and portraits in both contemporary and traditional ways.

Focus On courses are aimed squarely at intermediate painters although they are broad enough to accommodate the needs of more or less experienced oil painters.

All Focus On courses are written and taught by Martin Kinnear, and include seven days of on demand access and PDF core notes to help you consolidate your learning.
