Description
Spend an inspiring weekend with Sally to develop landscape painting techniques in oils. You will learn to depict, in a semi-abstract form, a landscape that is important to you.
Using photographs that capture your scene as a starting point, you will develop various painterly techniques in oils to produce semi-abstract studies. Sally will teach you about the use of colour, tone and composition in painting and will guide you through creating your unique finished work.
Make it personal from a photographs of a special place for you. At the end of the weekend, you'll have completed a medium-sized canvas.

Testimonials
Sally is an excellent teacher and she provided awesome individual feedback.
Great teacher and nice class mates too. I would love it if when she tells other students bits of information that it is shared with the whole class so we can all learn from everything she is teaching. BUT she was really really good!
I thought the course was a lovely opportunity to explore a creative talent with support and equipment provided. A luxury to paint for two days in such a great space. Everyone was really amazed at the size of the canvases but took the challenge on!
