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.

Who This Is For

If you’re running a small business and your product photos look:

• flat and dull 
• unclear or muddy
• inconsistent shot to shot

then this is for you.

You don’t need a camera course. You just need to know what you’re missing.

and see the difference straight away.

The Aim Of The Session

This workshop is not about turning anyone into a professional photographer.

It is simply about helping you recognise one of the most important ingredients in photography – Light.
Once you begin to notice it, the camera you already carry in your pocket becomes far more capable than you realised.

You already have a capable camera.
The issue is how it’s being used.

The colours fall flat. The subject feels lifeless. The image doesn’t hold the moment.

Fix these, and your images improve immediately.

– You’ll begin to see where to stand.
– Where to place your subject.
– How to light the subject.
– When the light is working.
– What to include, and what to leave out.

Mobile Photography is Problem Solving

Using your phone properly isn’t about having the latest device. It’s about knowing what to fix.

Most poor photos come down to a few things:

– The light is wrong
– The angle is off
– The background is distracting
– The timing is missed

Fix these, and your photos improve instantly.

Get It Right First

A strong photograph is built before you press the button. Then Refine, Don’t Rescue

Yes, we edit. But editing is not there to fix bad photos. It’s there to finish good ones.

– A small exposure adjustment
– A cleaner crop
– touch of contrast
– A simple edit in Snapseed

That’s all it should take when the photo is right to begin with.

and see the difference straight away.
