Fri 6th March 2026 10am to 4pm  

Another very enjoyable day with Roy learning how to paint like the Impressionists used to ...  

Roy says - we will start with a 'loosening up' sketch, this will introduce my way of working and consist of a step by step to get everyone in the mood.  On this course each student will produce at least two paintings (but that is not a rule)!
All materials and instruction provided, and you will take home a mounted painting at the end of the day

The French impressionists changed art, just about everyone agrees on that. What interests me is how they worked in colour to create those memorable paintings. In your resource pack will be a number of reproductions of impressionist paintings. We will discuss them, and find ways to use the effects and colour designs in our own work. A little Colour theory, a lot of fun! Our first oil pastel painting will be a copy of a Claude Monet painting, I will demonstrate and you will follow along, step by step. We will try to think like Monet! Then we will make paintings based on these techniques, bringing impressionist ideas into our work, initially ‘borrowing’ their light and colour effects. Then using our own design ideas, to make colourful and dramatic paintings.

Cost £80 to inc fresh coffee,  a tasty home made lunch and  home made scones cream tea. Materials charge is payable on the day to the tutor - and is £8 for all the paper, pastels and other materials.
