No experience is necessary, and we'll have fun looking at and doing ancient letters and more modern forms.
Paint The Portrait | For Oil or Acrylic Artists

We will focus on distinctive brushwork, edges and brave paint application, as we focus on putting your lovely model into ‘space’ on our canvases. As many of you know, my philosophy is to "keep-ideas-simple - while making bold statements".

There’ll be lots of hands-on personal guidance throughout as you are guided through the wonderful process of making a beautiful painting.
