"I recently had the pleasure of attending a two-day oil painting portrait course led by Karl Rudziak, and it was nothing short of inspiring. Karl not only proved to be an exceptional instructor with valuable painting methods but also generously provided all the materials needed. This thoughtful preparation allowed us to focus solely on our art without any distractions. The course was well-structured, making it easy for attendees of all levels to follow along and absorb the techniques Karl demonstrated. His approach not only boosted my confidence but also allowed me to complete a portrait that I am truly proud of. For anyone looking to delve into oil painting or refine their portrait skills, I highly recommend Karl Rudziak's course. His expertise and effective teaching style will undoubtedly leave you with a deeper understanding of the art and a beautiful piece of your own to show for it."

Karl Rudziak Artist responded:

"Thank you, Ewelina, it was a joy having you in the workshop. "

"I applied to join this course with uncertainty as I was almost a total beginner in the art of drawing and painting. Over the course of the two days Karl spent time explaining step by step the whole process but also allowing you to experiment . I would never have imagined that I could have completed a portrait of my partner which was so like her. I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 days and will definitely return for another weekend . Thank you Karl"

"Really enjoyed the two days - only 3 'pupils' (it takes place in Karls studio) so lot of one-to-one guidance. Karl is also painting one of his own portraits from scratch so you can really see what he is reaching in action. Lovely atmosphere. Would do another workshop with him and recommend it."

"I really enjoyed spending a couple of days in the studio learning oil painting techniques with Karl. I had never used oils before so was a little apprehensive but Karl was extremely patient and calm, which made me feel relaxed enough to experiment. He explained how to use oil paints, the techniques he uses and how to mix colours. It was so helpful to see how he paints by watching his demonstrations. This workshop has given me the confidence to give oil painting a go at home and I would highly recommend it."
