Painting Workshops 2026 PASTEL and Mixed Media + NEW WATERCOLOUR CLASSES

2026 -  Unlock your creative potential in my dynamic Impressionist art workshops, where expressive mark-making takes center stage! Whether you prefer Watercolour, oils, acrylics, pastels, or mixed media, you'll explore the freedom of painting beyond realism—capturing mood, movement, and emotion instead of simply replicating a scene. I’ll guide you through the essentials of composition and show you how to infuse your work with life and energy, helping you move past just copying and into true creative expression. Perfect for artists of all levels ready to loosen up and discover the joy of expressive painting! Everyone produces finished paintings to take home on the day. To reserve your place on a workshop, please email at lesdarlow@sky.com
