"There is a wide variety of workshops and courses available - watercolour and pastel painting, plus drawing, form the bulk of the classes. In the pages below, you will find details of single day workshops and weekend courses. All are suitable for any level of painting experience, because class numbers are limited to ten or less, allowing time for tuition on a one-to-one basis when required.I hope you find something of interest...oh, and by the way, its alot of fun!"
