Five Week Courses: Tuesdays
Tuesdays 2-4pm
Merchants’ Place, 16 Church St, Cromer, NR27 9ES
Disabled parking only, all other parking in the pay & display on Meadow carpark off Louden Road.
There are six courses to choose from this year. We will explore the resources that we have and how to use them. We will experiment with a variety of mediums, techniques and styles to further our understanding of how to improve our painting. But, mostly we will have fun! I like to think all my classes are inclusive, friendly and relaxed environments where we can enjoy being creative together!
Any illustrations of paintings 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.
