Come join us at our delightful studio nestled within the historic Silk Mill in Frome, Somerset! Materials are not included.

So you'll need your paints, brushes (please bring a good selection plus a 2inch one!) You'll need a couple of painting panels around 30 x 30 cm or landscape, canvas covered boards are good, but stretched canvases are more delicate for some of the techniques we will be using. A sketch pad will also be useful. Since you'll be working on tables during the session, leave your easel behind. Oh, and don't worry about refreshments—we've got you covered!

Maker
Lynn's art is a vibrant blend of contemporary landscapes and abstract florals. With her expressive, gestural style, she encapsulates the essence of every scene, mood, and moment. Working in harmony with the seasons, she translates colour and motion into bold, energetic brushstrokes. Rather than relying on photographs, Lynn immerses herself in each location, soaking up its energy and absorbing its defining elements. The result? Paintings that are richly layered and bursting with texture, inviting viewers into a world where viewers can immerse themselves in a different and beautiful world. Experience artistic transformation with "Paint What You Feel," a revolutionary coaching method. Break free from visual replication, unlock inner creativity, and express raw emotion on canvas. Each brushstroke becomes a conduit for self-discovery, offering clarity and resonance in an extraordinary journey of artistic liberation.

FAQs
I find that the techniques we use are best with acrylic paint because of its quick drying! If you want to do this but use oils, please don't let that stop you because I teach valuable techniques.
Bring your favourite paints, brushes and other tools, a palette and a couple of canvases, boards or thick paper to work on. If you are unsure please reach out and I will send you a materials list.
Yes, absolutely, I've worked with lots of people who are in just this position and they have come out with a really positive attitude willing to take on the world. It's fab.
No! This is the perfect time for you to dive in and get straight to the secrets about painting beautiful work that no-one tells you.
Often artists end up painting what they see, but they really want to put more into a painting, to paint with more emotion to add something unique to them to their artwork. To develop thier own style. That's what we work on together. And it works!
