Art and Expression

Art and Expression is a general art course during which you will work in different techniques and media ( watercolour, acrylic) The painting course starts twice a year in January and September. You will study various painting methods on paper and canvas. Subjects will vary from still life, abstraction, imagination and reference images. In some classes more attention will be given to sketching, drawing, colour mixing, perspective and working in tone.

It is possible to work on your own project as well.
The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 7 which means lots of individual attention.
You don’t have to have any experience to sign up for art and expression courses.
I design the classes in a way that everybody, (absolute) beginners as well advanced students will benefit from the course. For all courses and workshops coffee and tea is included in the price.
