Best course ever!!!

I have been putting off oit painting out of fear. I was afraid of; the paint, the solvents, the mediums, toxic fumes!!! But I love oil paint art. So I decided to dive in... still quite fearful until I found a You tube video of Florent Farges. I did some research and found this course - best thing I have ever speant a few bucks on. He explains everything, everything - he took my fears away! I know how to finally set up my studio space for oil painting and to work with it safely. The level of detail in this course, just great, it is a must for anyone thinking about strarting to paint with oils. BEST course ever!!!

Excellent for beginners, incredible for experienced

I desired to learn about oil painting, but it seemed like there were many fragmentary and elusive concepts - like mediums and colors and brushes and techniques - that overwhelmed and intimidated me. I looked for anyone to explain the basics to me, and the information online was a confusing nightmare. Then I found The Atelier of Figurative Arts with Florent Farges. This Guide to Oil Painting has given me the confidence to start painting! This course can stand alone, but add his Color Theory class and anyone can begin with the solid foundation that is detrimental to all students - or anyone curious about this beautiful artform. Thank you, Florent. You created an incredible course for anyone who is tired of asking and not getting answers - plus the price was perfect! I truly appreciate you and your style. I cannot recommend this course enough!

Highly Recommended! Best Oil Painting Class!

I've watched many YouTube videos and taken other online courses before, but Florent's class is by far the most well-structured and comprehensive. He covers oil painting fundamentals in a clear, organized way that’s helpful for all levels. I even realized that some of the supplies I had been using weren’t suitable!

The demonstrations are fantastic, making it easy to understand and apply the techniques. I remember Florent once said in his YouTube video that he believes anyone can paint as well as he does if they just keep painting day and night. That was really encouraging and inspiring! Now, I use this course as my toolbox—I can check which supplies or techniques work best whenever I need to. And whenever I want to see how a professional artist applies brushstrokes with precision, I always come back to it!

Thanks, Florent!

New in the 4th Edition

  • A course made to evolve

    The Practical Guide is designed to evolve. There’s already been four major updates to the course. For this new edition a completely new recording has been made to make the course more pleasant and aesthetic.

  • The Starter Kit

    With this course, you can start right away and experiment early on. This is best way to get a first hand experience of how paint works and then explore the more advanced techniques and materials.

  • Tradition and innovation

    It might seem that the world of oil painting is the same as always but there’s actually more innovations than one might think, especially with the development of solvent-free alternatives and water mixable products. Florent is always looking for new products and innovations to add to the course.

  • Pocket-size studio

    A complete chapter dedicated to artists with limited painting space or those who aren't lucky enough to dedicate an entire room to painting. Making life easier with less space.

  • The Non-Toxic Studio

    Because health and safety are our priorities, this course has a very long section dedicated to materials and techniques that are non-toxic: solvent alternatives, non-toxic mediums, safe practices... this part covers everything.

This is without a doubt the best guide for new painters that I have ever seen! Indeed, I wish I had seen this when I was new to painting many years ago. It would have saved me so much agony and I would have been further along much sooner! It was soooo worth it! I’m so glad I bought the whole package!! Thank you!
