Painting Workshops
I have run classes and workshops in the Yorkshire Dales for over 20 years. The workshops will be based in Carperby Village Institute which is a light, warm, spacious venue ideally placed for sketching/painting in the surrounding attractive countryside. Castle Bolton, Redmire moor with views into 4 dales, Aysgarth Falls and the River Ure are all within easy reach. There is ample parking space beside the hall which is situated in the middle of the village on the north side of the road. With a maximum of 9 in the group, individual needs can be catered for and painters of all abilities, working in any medium are welcome. Students will be encouraged to simplify, develop their existing skills and push boundaries and just enjoy the experience! Light lunches and refreshments are included.
We sketch outdoors where possible and painting can be done in situ or back in the hall depending on the needs, abilities of the group and of course the weather!
