CANCELLED Intermediate Oil Painting Workshop
Unfortunately we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel this series of workshops - but keep your eyes open for future workshops next year, hopefully.
Taking place over 3 consecutive Saturdays, this workshop is ideal for those who have done Mieke’s Oil Painting for Beginners course in the past. Students bring all their own paints, brushes and canvases, along with projects that they want to work on, and Mieke will tutor to their individual needs (could be 1 or more paintings). It will be helpful to review the notes from the beginner’s course beforehand. (Just email us if you have mislaid them).
If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact us here
