This tutored painting class is ideal for people keen to explore different painting media further or those building on our popular Introduction to Painting Techniques course. 
In a friendly, relaxed atmosphere we will spend a day exploring each of three different media; watercolours, gouache and acrylics in depth. The final two sessions will be devoted to working up and creating a finished artwork.

There will be a mixture of fun exercises, you’ll make your own artist journal, and you’ll create your own painting using the techniques you've learned.
A small sketchbook to keep, plus classroom painting and drawing materials will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you wish.
