Loosen up your acrylic landscape painting. Make a number of small exploratory sketches in paint followed by a larger version on canvas board. You will learn how to make a dynamic composition, select and bring attention to the focal point and experience and use a wide range of acrylic techniques. We will follow a step by step demonstrated approach.

This is a course of two half days, with 6 hours tuition in total and follows on from my earlier Yardley Arts courses. New students are welcome!

The small group makes more personal tuition time available.

Most enjoyable course, got my confidence back and belief in myself
