Michael Shepherd - Small Wonders (Painting)

This 4 day workshop for both professional and amateur painters will use open-themed sketches and studies of the students’ choice. Michael will facilitate both the technical and conceptual elements in the paintings to be undertaken during the course.

Special emphasis will be given to materials and techniques for both early and contemporary practice by a tutor who has made a special study of oil painting technique. This workshop is suitable for both beginners and those with experience.
