Upcoming Workshops

Beginners Watercolour with Scott Pleydell-Pearce

Sep 26, 9:30 am – 4 pm

Always wanted to learn to paint in watercolour but too intimidated to try this notoriously difficult medium? Started but failed miserably in pools of watery frustration? Everything turning to mud on you? Join me for a day of mastering the main watercolour techniques from the ground up. This is great for beginners and those who would like a refresher.

Adding figures to your paintings with Scott Pleydell-Pearce

Sep 27, 9:30 am – 4 pm

We will start with an introduction to drawing figures in an impressionistic manner for painting as opposed to life drawing realistic figures. Then we will practice figure shapes and poses, these will generally be small figures to add to your street scenes or landscapes etc.
