Experience the joy of watching your skills bloom as you receive usable tools, guidance and support on your journey towards artists excellence.
Artistic Guidance is a one hour session that helps artists by giving constructive comments, useable tools and help, based on observations of their work so that they can make positive changes to transform their artwork to a new level.
- Many artists struggle with their paintings not working or selling, and they often feel doubt and lack confidence in their abilities.
- Not sure how to get feedback - loved ones offer supportive comments, but they lack the specific feedback needed to improve.
- Don’t have a lot of time as this is a hobby and they have a lot of other life commitments
- Feeling stuck in your current artistic endeavours and not sure how to progress.

Who am I to guide you on this artful adventure?
Hello my name is Karol Oakley. I've been painting for 30 years as a professional artist and learnt my craft by doing and learning from the best.
My super skill is being able to see the wood for the trees and give constructive observations to others on the painting path. My forte is soft pastel painting and I'm a Master Pastellist with the Pastel Society of Australia. Since way back, I've been teaching others how to paint. Which just means when it comes to painting, I know my onions.
Painting Critiques are necessary for any artist using any medium, to move forward. They don't need to be scary, off putting or daunting experiences. Well they aren't when I do critiques. That's why I prefer to call them reviews and assessments . They give confidence and useable help.
I hope you will decide to work with me and see what guidance I can bring to your painting adventure as you move forward to artistic excellence.
My Promise to You:
I give and honest, personalised and supportive one hour session where artists receive valuable feedback and guidance to enhance their artwork.
I believe in and valuable positive comments given in a gentle and constructive manner. We will go through your painting together, looking for the good bits and the areas that need attention.
Then I show you what tools You Need To Build A Successful artwork that guides you on your journey to artistic excellence.
