On Sunday 30th July from 11-5pm I will be opening my studio to guests to come and learn how to paint a portrait. From beginning to end you will be supported in an easy step by step process and you will learn some of the tricks of the old Masters. It’s a lot simpler than you may think when you understand some of the rules. It will also be great fun.

All materials are provided for so you don’t need to go to Cass art and spend a fortune.
