PRICE: £76 (+ BOOKING FEE*) FOR THE DAY
THE HEATHERLEY SCHOOL OF FINE ART, LONDON
This 1-day workshop will be about painting fast and direct, being as unselfconscious as possible. Putting down what you see and expressing this.
In the morning, we will do a series of quick paintings simplifying form and finding the big shapes and then in the afternoon, more time will be spent on a longer still life setup.

WHAT TO BRING
Sketchbooks, drawing and painting materials of your choice, with a series of smaller surfaces for the morning. Zestit or equivalent should be used instead of white spirit if using oil paint.
There is a basic materials shop on site if required. There are tea and coffee making facilities on site and cafes nearby - but you might want to bring a packed lunch.
