This two day painting course for absolute beginners offers a really relaxing and non-intimidating way of getting started with painting

On this painting course you will be exploring your creative side and surprising yourself with what you are able to create when you have a go at painting. You will have fun in the process, will discover how nice it is to make time to sit down and paint, and will feel incredibly relaxed at the end of each day.

You will come away from the course feeling inspired, wanting to go straight out and buy yourself some art materials, and with the confidence to carry on painting at home!

The course starts off by focusing on experimenting and exploring lots of different ways of applying acrylic paint – including printing, using pallet knives and paint brushes, and painted collage. This approach is all about having a play, being curious, and discovering what you can do with paint, and on this part of the course you will produce a whole range of different samples and finished pieces.

Then you will build up to painting one or two final artworks of your choice – which could be absolutely anything from landscapes, animals, flowers or people. I will support you to produce your own unique artwork rather than the more traditional teaching approach where you all end up painting exactly the same thing. The courses are small – with up to 6 people – so you will get lots of individual support with your artwork.

What people have to say about this painting course ….

“I really enjoyed the class I did with Jane. It was so nice to do something that was completely creative. There was no judgement, no need to do it “right” but it was fun and absorbing. I have done other art classes where I became so worried about technique that things seemed to get worse rather than better.” Roz Warren

“I loved every minute of our class – I could not believe how quickly the time passed! It was great fun to just let your creative spirit run free with no pressure to draw or create something specific or use a certain style / colours. I definitely caught the bug and am keen to come back learn and experiment more as well as continue at home. Would definitely recommend!” Julia Weller

Cost: £195 per person (or book with a friend and you each pay £180 – offer applies to bookings made before the 31st October)
