Book into some casual art workshops

Learn about Value, light and shade

Some of our workshops are longer and cover an important Foundation subject as well as an exemplary painting project
Watercolours anyone?

Some workshops are specifically to get a good feel for a new medium. Materials are provided and techniques are demonstrated.
Indoor/outdoor studios

Sometimes, weather allowing, we spread out across indoors and the outdoor studio.
The gift of creativity

Gift certificates can be sent out when you decide to give a friend the experience of a casual art workshop or a regular term group.
Ocean painting themes

There is nothing quite as relaxing (to look at) as a painting of the ocean. We often schedule different ones casually throughout the year.
CASUAL DRAWING WORKSHOPS

Occasionally we schedule a casual drawing intensive, sometimes general, sometimes specifically for figure drawing
Discover mixed media layering

Everybody is always amazed at their own results when given a multitude of mixed media tools to utilize and a cool theme with a drawing to transfer (those who can draw do their own) and a harmonious colour scheme.
Tributes inspired by modern masters

Learning by adopting the style of a master in your own tribute artwork is not just about getting a popular piece for your wall. You actually learn new skills and think about subjects in a new way.
Gettin sticky with it

Collage is a sticky business, using gel medium to apply all manner of collected or hand-created paper bits to incorporate into a mixed media project
Tackle a deep space project

Getting a nebula to glow is just the beginning in a painting project like this. You will discover many tips and tricks with materials and techniques for acrylics on canvas.
Impressionism never gets old

Boats and water,waterlilies and other subjects of the French Impressionists are used as inspiration with luscious daubs of thick medium to get the classic look and feel
Paint a large abstract

This (once-a-year) special full-day workshop is for those who want a big artwork for their wall, cannot afford the ones they like and would like to be guided over a full day in creating their own abstract artwork.
