One Day Workshop
Summer 2026
Master new techniques in a single day. Our focused, one-day workshops provide the dedicated time and expert guidance you need to explore new mediums and complete a finished artwork.
For our Summer 2026 Workshop we’re exploring the exciting medium of water-based oil paints which provide the beauty and flexibility of oil paints without the harsh chemicals.
Who is it for?
The workshop is aimed at artists who want to explore oil painting techniques under the guidance or one of expert tutors.
The workshop is perfect for people who’d like to try oil painting without the chemicals and smells associated with traditional oil painting.
