Spring, a time of rebirth, renewal, new beginnings, and growth. As we come out of hiding, this oil painting class will encourage you to step into the light by embracing a new skill. This workshop will offer the space to try, learn, and be, with guidance from your tutor Daisy Embury. Working with the same image, the whole class will work through their painting step-by-step, with the flexibility and space to figure out your own creative preferences and voice.
