Portrait Painting

NOW FULLY BOOKED! Please get in touch if you would like to be added to the waiting list.

Due to popular demand, we are offering this two-day portrait course with tutor Anna Wimbledon for the third consecutive year.  You will have the opportunity for intensive study under Anna's patient but expert eye, with the aim of producing a 'finished' painting of the portrait model over the two days.  There will be demonstrations and guidance in technique, colour and form with plenty of one-to-one contact.

The materials list is below and this will also be emailed to participants prior to the course.
