Take your art to new levels of confidence & skills.
Join me in the stunning setting of my home studio in Harbeton, near Totnes, Devon for a range of immersive painting courses. These workshops run over 3-5 days in a relaxed & friendly atmosphere where you will learn new skills & techniques as well finding new confidence in your creativity.
Inspired by the gardens, meadows, hedgerows & countryside all around, the workshops will help you capture the essence & joy of Nature while developing evocative compositions & capturing the colour & free growth of both wild & garden flora. From sketching & composition to layering techniques & use of varied brushes & tools, by the end of the course you will have created your own wonderful painting.
Weather dependant, we will work in the studio, on my shady terrace overlooking stunning rolling views & sketching in the garden & meadow. The 5 day Course includes a day visiting an award winning garden to sketch.
The small group of up to 4 participants ensures that there is plenty of of time for individual attention, questions & feedback.
The courses include lunch & refreshments & each day runs from 10.30am to 4.30 pm, leaving you time to enjoy the beautiful locality in the evenings. A list of local B&B's & accommodation can be provided on request.
A list of basic materials will be provided prior to each course & you will be free to use my extensive collection of brushes, tools & surfaces.
Experience level: These courses are ideally suited for anyone with some painting experience, whether a hobbyist or artist, who wants to improve their skills & explore using media in new ways to create vibrant & evocative paintings inspired by Nature.
Group size 2-4
Working in a small group you will have lots of 1:1 time, group discussion & an opportunity to experiment. As an artist, I have been creating paintings for over 30 years & running workshops for creatives from beginners to experienced artists.
