Painting

used by clean brushes

Whether you’re a seasoned artist looking to refine your techniques or someone embarking on their creative journey, our courses are designed to inspire and nurture your artistic talent. Immerse yourself in a vibrant community of like-minded individuals, led by experienced and passionate instructors who will guide you through the magic of colours, textures, and compositions.

Painting courses are one of our most popular subject areas and there is a huge range of options to choose from.  Acrylics, Watercolour, Oil Painting and Mixed media.  You will have the opportunity to learn techniques, develop your skills and build your confidence.  Learn about other artists, their work and their inspirations.  If you are interested in portraiture, landscape, still life or abstract we have courses that will allow you to explore and experiment.  There are techniques and brushwork styles to develop and time to think about composition and what makes up a picture.

Beginners courses will help you get started and learn about the equipment, paint or canvasses you might need and our more advanced courses will support you to develop new ideas and build on your skills.
