Tutor - Julia Entwistle

No experience needed — just a willingness to have a go.

This three-week beginner painting course is designed to help you build confidence with paint in a relaxed and supportive environment. You’ll learn the basics of colour mixing, brushwork and composition, while discovering how enjoyable painting can be without worrying about getting everything perfect.

Week 1: Colour theory, the colour wheel, mixing and blending colours, and choosing the right brushes.

Week 2: Skies, clouds and sunsets, including how to apply paint and create a simple impressionistic sky.

Week 3: Trees, texture and paint application, with an introduction to using palette knives.

All materials and tuition are included, along with refreshments. Disposable aprons are available, although old clothes are recommended.

You’ll also take home your finished paintings from weeks 2 and 3.

The full three-week course is £90.
