Learn the techniques of the Old Masters course / workshop

Description

This course will teach you the techniques of the old masters in both the information and practical skills needed to paint in this style. All materials are provided alongside a set of notes as we teach you the techniques used by the old masters. The studio is set in a beautiful rural location away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in a custom built art studio in rural Cambridgeshire. Course welcome/arrival is at 9:30 with refreshments available throughout the day. A light lunch is provided and the day closes with a Q&A, feedback and advice session around 16:30. Class numbers are kept low to ensure quality tuition which gives you an incredibly high tutor to student ratio. This ensures the highest quality of experience from a professional artist who has been taught the techniques of the old masters, and has been commissioned multiple times by the Arts Council England and is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. Good quality accommodation is available nearby for a whole range of budgets at a range of nearby venues. Please get in touch via the 'message the tutor' button for more information.
