Two New Courses

In response to many enquiries we are pleased to introduce two new courses for 2010.  The first of these is the ‘Taster Course’. If you are wondering how you will get on with painting, and would like to try before you commit yourself to a longer course, a ‘Taster’ will interest you. Or if you are not sure which medium to choose, watercolours or oils, then this course would allow you to try one. Perhaps you are thinking about trying a new medium? Again this course will help you to decide. If you opt for watercolour, you will leave with a picture in a mount; if you opt for oils, then you will leave with a painting on a board ready for you to finish at your leisure.

The second new course is the ‘Refresher/Surgery’ course. This course is designed to help those of you who have already had some experience of painting. Perhaps there has been a break since you have painted? Then the Refresher aspect will help you. On the other hand, if there is a particular problem in painting that is troubling you then the Surgery aspect of this course will help you iron out your difficulty.

Details: both courses are limited to 6 guests which will allow Michael to offer personal advice, and both are suitable for either oils or watercolours. Both begin at about 9.30 and end about 12.30, and tea and coffee will be provided. All materials are included in the price. Cost: £45.00 per person per session for each of the new courses.
