Two day course
Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th April
During the weekend workshop, Ian will show you how to improve the initial drawing of the subject, demonstrate the importance of composition, design, perspective and how to use colour and tone to give your painting narrative, atmosphere and impact.
Working with Ian will provide you with the foundations you need to continue improving your paintings at your own pace.
Includes homemade lunch and refreshments both days
