Schedule

 

We will complete a step-by-step painting, which will be a landscape painting of Killarney National Park. Courses are 'Plein Air' with the option to work indoors if the weather turns poor. I will demonstrate each stage, explaining and analysing the techniques I use, which will be a mixture of brush & palette knife. Its then up to each person to try out these techniques, and/or come up with individual interpretations. There's no 'right' or 'wrong' way to paint, and my aim is to share the skills I have acquired along the way and encourage you to practice & develop yours. A lot of it is about gaining confidence and keeping going!
 

Individual Cost for a 2 day course is €110 (or €120 to include use of studio paints)
Group Rate Discount of 10% available for groups of 3 or more.
