How will the course benefit me?
This course will be a celebration of our beautiful woodland, which we will be painting in watercolour and some mixed media. Learners will explore their own artistic ability and gain confidence in valuable practical skills, whether new or renewed. You will learn under the guidance of an enthusiastic practising artist.

The themes will range from natural still life, landscape and seasonal woodland views You could be working from objects or photographs, sometimes these will be provided by the tutor, sometimes by the learner. You will gain in confidence and skill level and it will be stimulating and enjoyable.
