Art in the Outwoods

Come and paint a woodland scene like the ones above! I’m running a new painting class in the Outwoods Events Barn, just next to the cafe and the car park

First one will be Saturday 29 March, 10.00 - 13.00

I’ll provide absolutely everything you will need, including sketch book, pencils, paint, brushes, easels and board. You’ll get friendly tuition (if you want it) plus positive feedback. There’s even an opportunity to frame your work afterwards at a small extra cost. We’ll be working in acrylics so wear old clothes or bring an apron

Cost is £45 - please phone, text or email to book

Commissions

If you have a commission in mind then do please give me a call, text or email. Whether it’s your place, your partner or your pet, your commission will become my priority, just check out the buyers’ views section for feedback on my previous work.

Your project will be handled in a reliable, friendly and professional way. My rates are quite reasonable, with prices usually between £200 - 400 depending on size and complexity. I can work from decent photos or am happy to pay a visit if you are anywhere near where I live in the East Midlands.

A 20% deposit secures the job but I won’t ask for the balance until you are completely happy. Since I’m keen that you will be, I’ll be keeping you in touch at every stage of the work.

Buying from this site
