Painters with some experience​

If those of you that are old hands attending workshops and classes bring along your usual kit that would be great.

Please include a table easel or floor-standing easel. 

 

Beginners

​For people new to painting I will have all you need for this session apart from protective clothing. If you enjoy the experience and would like to do more, you will have an idea of what to buy for the next session.
