"I am a Christchurch artist with no experience in oils, and I attended a weekend workshop with Nemesh this year for the first time. It was a great time."
Unlocking the Artist Within

Description
After more than 40 years of painting, exhibiting, and teaching, I have developed a series of oil painting workshops designed to welcome everyone, from absolute beginners picking up a brush for the first time, to professional artists wanting to experiment with oils, to experienced painters seeking to loosen up and explore new creative directions.
This workshop is not about rigid rules. It is about discovery, confidence, and expression. My approach encourages participants to work intuitively and courageously, experiment freely with oil paint, build confidence regardless of skill level - let go of perfection and embrace process.
Oil painting is a rich, forgiving medium that allows depth, texture, and emotion. Through guided demonstrations and individual support, participants will learn how to handle oils with confidence while developing their own artistic voice.
By the end of the workshop, each participant will complete at least one finished oil painting per day, often two, depending on experience.
The price includes 1-2 medium-sized canvases (50 x 40 cm) per day as well as all the tools necessary for the workshop. The workshop fee is $150 per person per day. If attending both days, the cost is reduced to $275.
Workshop hours are very casual 12-3 PM each day.
Testimonials
The environment was welcoming and Nemesh was encouraging.
I got to explore techniques I had never used before, and walked away inspired to create.
Nemesh has a wealth of knowledge to impart, but also understands the importance of play in art - embracing the creative process. I would highly recommend attending the weekend workshop.
You will walk away brimming with ideas and with your cup full.
