TUITION

We are pleased to have five professional artists with us this season, Stephen Marytn, David Howell, Brian and Maggie Robinson and Liz Butler offering high quality tuition and support.  The most popular medium is Watercolour but other media are also catered for.  The painting and drawing tuition is usually en Plein Air and is designed for all levels, from beginner to the more experienced painter.  It is, after all, a Painting Holiday with no formal exams at the end of your week.  The tuition is friendly and informal on a 'one to one' basis, allowing you to develop at your own pace knowing that the tutor is on hand to help with drawing, composition, perspective, colour mixing, colour theory, mixed media experiments etc.  All our tutors encourage students to develop powers of observation and personal vision and to experiment with media, enjoy painting and be creative.

Most Tutors will do demonstrations if you wish.
