Through the practice of painting a still life, participants will learn techniques used by impressionist painters and how to depict the fleeting nature of light.

We will start the session by looking at the role that light has played in art throughout the ages, followed by a painting tutorial, then on to painting practice.

Zoom

The sessions will be hosted through Zoom.

Please download the Zoom app. If you haven’t zoomed before don’t worry, it’s not complicated. A little blue camera symbol will pop up on your phone, pad and laptop.

You’ll find the Zoom link for the sessions on the booking ticket AND I will send you the link via email that will take you directly to the sessions (no password required) on the day of the workshop.

I will start the session 15mins before the official start of the workshop. This will give us an opportunity to iron out any technical difficulties if there are any and have a chat
