BEGINNER ART SESSIONS 2024!
At The Arthouse Oasis In Great Hallingbury, Bishop’s Stortford
Do you want to improve your art skills? Join professional artist Gabrielle for some mindful and relaxing creativity at The Arthouse Oasis this Summer.
“Come and try your hand at drawing and painting. Choose from acrylic paints, watercolours and more. Tailored for beginners, I’ll help to start you off with your creative project and then set you free to see where the paint takes you.“
Maybe you are halfway through a project, or already have a painting idea in mind? Bring it and Gabrielle can help you move forward with it. Bring your own photo or object to draw or paint. Or choose from Gabrielle’s selection of reference photos, fruit and artificial flowers.
In these small group sessions, Gabrielle can help you understand how to proceed according to your skill level. This can be a great way to start off your art journey.
These will be the first of our regular bi-monthly art sessions, tailored for you!
Introductory Price: £14 per artist. The June and July dates listed below are less than half price.
Non participants welcome.
Includes materials, tuition & tea and biscuits!
