ABOUT THIS COURSE

This series of weekly classes is for artists who have an interest in landscape and seascape painting. Not suitable for complete beginners.

Brenda will offer broad instruction on all aspects of developing a painting, with a special focus on using the palette knife for loose, spontaneous effects.

A fun and relaxing approach for artists who want to “loosen up”!

Brenda will carry out a demonstration with step-by-step information on her approach. Participants will be able to then work using the same reference or one of their choosing.

This will be a relaxing and enjoyable course to focus on your art with individual advice and support.
