There are no “silly questions”, Melanie’s own enthusiasm is infectious, helping you to progress to painting simple scenes by the end of the day.
Melanie Cambridge has her own range of oil paints, which are included in this workshop, so no upfront expenses, just bring your enthusiasm to give it a try.
