Exploring Acrylic Techniques – a 4-week painting course with Stephen Jenkinson

For Abstracts; Semi-Abstracts and Impressionist Landscapes

This course is led by enthusiastic artist and tutor Stephen Jenkinson. It is ideal for everyone - for those who are completely new to the techniques that Stephen introduces, and those who have attended previous standalone workshops and want to refresh and develop their painting skills further. Experience the whole painting process: from preparation, through applying layers of pure vibrant colour and producing striking images with beautiful effects, to finishing your final images for mounting and framing.
