The one-day and
three-day courses held at Leath Barn run from 10.00am
to 4.00pm (see below for list of dates). The sessions
are very relaxed but a lot of work is completed over
the three days.
For those who
wish to refresh their skills, or for complete beginners,
these courses will show all the basic techniques for
painting beautiful flowers and gardens in watercolour
or pen, ink and wash. Demonstrations and individual
tuition will inspire you to develop your own style and
enable everyone to go home with paintings to be proud
of. |
