Five Week Courses: Tuesdays
Tuesdays 2-4pm
Merchants’ Place, 16 Church St, Cromer, NR27 9ES
Disabled parking only, all other parking in pay & display on Meadow carpark off Louden Road.
There are six courses to choose from this year. We will explore working in tone and understanding the benefits of limited palette exercises to improve our painting, and work in different mediums to discover our personal favourites.
All illustrations on this page have been created by people whilst attending my classes. Lots of people come to me having done no art since school, all they need is a little encouragement and a positive environment to explore and discover what they can achieve!
N.B., occasionally you may be asked to bring along an A3 sketchpad to store your work in.
