ART WORKSHOP - Working with acrylics
A ​7 week course to start with, with the potential to be a weekly activity through the year. I will help you develop your skills and produce a range of work from a starting point. I will show you some of the methods and processes that I use.
We will work predominantly with acrylic paints (although if you have oil paints and would like to use those that is fineI). I will work with you to explore, experiment and develop a range of skills and techniques in order to produce your own work.
It will be a loosely structured course which I will adapt to your needs and creative desires as we go.
