Third block of 10 weeks introduction to landscape, portrait and figure painting. This area of learning extends the students experiential fields opening up more possibilities to enjoy everything learnt in earlier blocks.

This opens the way to taking your paints and brushes with you and painting wherever you go.

Testimonials

 Learning art with Ellen has been a rewarding and magical experience.   As a painter she is absolutely brilliant when working the paint.  As a teacher she is learned and patient.   She is energetic, lively and always optimistic.   I recommend art with Ellen to anyone, even someone with no experience in  oils. She will turn you into the new Monet, Manet or Van Gogh. Tom
