 Painting with Acrylics - dates to be arranged

There are many products on the market for acrylic painters, the limit of their use is your imagination.  Bring all that you have and between us we will explore their possibilities. The way to find out what you can do is just start applying paint.  Kay has some photographs of Monet’s Garden which we could use as our starting point and see where it leads us; or experiment with your own ideas and let Kay help you to improve your technique.

Bring:

A surface to paint on

Acrylic painting paper/mount card/ a canvas board

If you don’t have all of the above, don’t worry as we will have some here.

Painting with Watercolours - dates to be aranged

Please your own equipment if you have it but Kay will have paints, paper and brushes, if you’re just starting out. If the weather is fine we will have the opportunity to paint in the woodland and grounds of Bradgate Manor where the Bluebells will be looking glorious.

Previous workshops

The workshops held so far have been great fun and participants learnt special techniques that enabled them to create some excellent paintings in water colours, mixed media and acrylics. The workshops were enjoyed by all the participants and it was good to see how complete beginners progressed during the day and the more experienced artists picked up tips that helped them to improve their techniques. 

Group bookings

If you and your friends wish to book a workshop - media of your own choice then please do get in touch. 

Gift vouchers are available for all courses. A great gift idea for  a birthday present or a special anniversary.
