Taking inspiration from this historic and beautiful setting, Carole will show you how to translate the delightful surroundings into sketches using pencil, pen and wash.

A fun day sketching outdoors and practicing "en plein air" painting techniques at a picturesque local location. Using watercolours or pen and wash for quick sketchbook studies.

Acrylics are one of the most versatile painting mediums, ideally suited to capturing the light sparkling on the sea, the texture of pebbles or sand, or the more subtle effects of skies, clouds, and aerial perspective in landscapes. A great course for beginners and more experienced artists.

Carole will show you how to capture your pets' character, expression, shape and form, and demonstrate techniques for painting texture and patterns in fur and feathers. Using soft pastels and pastel pencils.

Carole will help to demystify the process of portrait painting for you. Working from live models and reference material, in the medium of your choice: watercolour, pastel or acrylics.

In this workshop you can design your own Christmas card, or alternatively paint silhouetted trees against a Winter skyline.

As we approach Christmas, the theme of this workshop will be a festive one! Paint lights sparkling on a Christmas tree, a pile of wrapped presents, red and gold ribbons, a Christmas cake or scene.
