About the tutor
|
 I have admired Darren's wonderful paintings over the years. He is a regular visitor to West Moss-side and has done some beautiful drawings and paintings here - one of a merlin in the Flanders Moss landscape and one of a hare with curlew chicks in the carse hayfields I have hanging in my dining room. There are other local paintings in the centre too. So it is great to have him at West Moss-side. ( Kate Sankey)

Prerequisite knowledge/skills

This workshop is for everyone, beginners to the experienced artist. With a small group of participants one to one guidance will accommodate all levels. |
Course format
|
Following a short introductory session and depending on the weather! Darren will encourage you to paint outdoors, beginning with something small. He will give advice and support in the techniques so that by the end of the day you will have a number of paintings and sketches. Darren will bring lots of examples of his work for you to see. There are also his paintings hanging in the Centre and I have two others in the farmhouse for you to view. So it will be a day to spend painting and drawing, away from it, all with a magnificent artist who will share his artistic knowledge and experience. |
