Date: Wednesday, 6th August 

 

Tutor: Heather McDowell. Whether people are returning after many years away from painting or starting as complete beginners, Heather’s classes and workshops offer something for everyone. Her background as an occupational therapist and experienced artist have shaped her teaching style, which aims to be encouraging and confidence building. She makes use of unconventional tools and short cuts to enable anyone to paint, who is willing to learn!

 

Description: A step by step acrylic painting workshop, suitable for complete beginners, with challenges available for more experienced painters. There will be an emphasis on landscape with a selection of animals as optional additions. 

 

No previous drawing skill is needed. Working from photos we will produce a (more or less!) finished work by the end of the day. 

 

A full starter kit will be provided for each student at cost below, and includes canvas, paint, consumables and loan of equipment. We will be working on a stretched box canvas so your work will be ready to hang or give as a gift.
