Mixed Media Painting Workshop

Description

In this session we will use layered water-based media as well as drawing tools to create individual detailed mixed media paintings. Suitable for all abilities. About The Tutor: Louise Berrill is an artist living and working in a quiet village in rural Northamptonshire. Formerly trained at Loughborough University School of Art and Design, Louise graduated in 2006 with a BA Hons in Fine Art. In the years after, she continued to paint alongside working in galleries. Until she had her family, Louise taught art in a secondary school until 2013. Louise has painted and sold in galleries throughout the country and works on private commissions in the UK and internationally. Louise’s current work is very much focussed on the beautiful natural world; sunsets, the ocean, fields, even the Northern Lights. “I love colour and texture and my paintings show just that”.
