Easy landscape painting - 1 day workshop for beginners (or as a refresher!)

This is a fun 1 day introductory workshop for those who are new to landscape painting, or those who are a bit out of practise!

I believe ANYONE can paint! I'll help you overcome your 'beginner blocks' with clear instruction, demos, and practical exercises using acrylics.

You will gain a range of basic painting skills, an understanding of materials and the confidence to begin the joyful practise of painting the landscape. You'll end the day with your own landscape painting on canvas.

NB: You do not need any drawing/painting experience for this workshop!
