Progressive Painting Course in June

Progressive Painting Course in June

This is a follow up course for those who have already covered our beginners level. It will run OVER THREE WEEKS in JUNE on THURSDAY EVENINGS 11TH, 18TH AND 25TH from 7 pm – 9 pm.
 
This course is £90 and includes all materials and tuition. Refreshments are also provided.
 
 If you’ve completed our Beginner’s Acrylic Painting Course and are eager to take your skills to the next level, our  Follow-On Acrylic Painting Course is the perfect next step in your creative journey.
 
Although designed specifically for returning students, this course is also ideal for anyone wishing to improve their skills and build on the foundational techniques you already know—colour mixing, brush control, layering, and composition—while introducing more advanced methods to help you deepen your artistic expression.
 
Each session includes guided demonstrations, personalised feedback, and plenty of time to develop your own unique style. You’ll complete three more pieces throughout the course, gaining confidence and discovering fresh ways to bring your ideas to life on the canvas.
 
We will be looking at coastal scene, mountain view with lake and a still life with fruit. We will follow on with using our brushes, palette knives but also introducing some new techniques.
 
Whether you’re hoping to refine your technique, expand your creativity, or maybe just simply enjoy spending more time painting within a supportive group. 
 
Whatever the reason, we can’t wait to see what you create next!
 
It is advisable to wear old clothes, but there are disposable aprons for your use. All materials are provided and you will go home with your finished painting at the end of each week..
N.B. 
Single sessions are available at £35 each if you can’t commit to all three dates.
Please let Julia know and she will sort out payment via a bank transfer.
