Residential Art Courses 2024
Whether you’re a beginner or more accomplished, our two day weekend painting holiday with professional artist tutors will help you to improve your technique. Our art classes are small and friendly, usually between 6 and 8 people, starting around 10am and finishing around 4pm, with a break for a delicious lunch.
Arrival is late afternoon Friday and departure is end of the afternoon on the Sunday. Mornings will usually be spent together in the spacious Old Dairy studio learning new techniques or improving old ones.
In the afternoon you can choose from many beautiful spots around the land to paint the stunning landscape ‘en plein air’, as the tutors visit everyone in turn for further one to one tuition and guidance. Discover our award -winning Art Tutors and book now for our upcoming courses for 2024.
