The workshop will be the normal way of painting in Acrylics and watercolours
Aimed at beginners and improvers.
After a short demonstration, you will be encouraged to work in acrylic.
I will provide subject material and help each individual. You will need to bring your own paints and brushes or you can order a set to use on the day.

A wonderful and very enjoyable day spent in a relaxed atmosphere, with good company and beautiful surroundings. Shirley provided expert guidance and tailored the day to meet individual needs and objectives. I learnt a lot including some new techniques (my objective). All that I need to do now is get painting and put my new skills into practice. I have no hesitation in recommending this workshop.
Response from Shirley Davis Dew. Art 4 All:
Hi Liz Thank you for your lovely comments. The day was great as everybody went along with what I tried to do and the results were great. I hope to see you on another workshop when ever you see one you fancy.This course was exactly what I was hoping for. Shirley provided expert guidance in a relaxed atmosphere.
I arrived as a complete novice, having absolutely no experience of acrylics and left eager to carry on. It was a day well spent and with the bonus of taking place in a beautiful Wolds setting.

Hi Debbie,I bought a day workshop for my granddaughter Carys as a Christmas present to encourage her with her painting. She thoroughly enjoyed the day and with Shirley’s help and guidance brought home a wonderful piece of work.
Response from Shirley Davis Dew. Art 4 All:
Hello Ann I was so pleased with the way Carys tried everything that I showed her, she was a pleasure to teach. She is obviously going to continue with her art, she is so enthusiastic. I am pleased she wants to come along on the next Landscape workshop in February. I look forward to seeing her again.
