A Private Painting Day means you get to visit the studio and paint along with Valerie for a day, getting one-to-one tutoring tailored to you!
Start around 10am, with a short break for lunch and finish at 4pm to beat the traffic home!
Find out the basics of drawing and get personal guidance on your art practice and drawings. Good drawing is the foundation of painting, sculpting and composition. Valerie has experience in a variety of drawing materials.
There's more than meets the eye in painting. Learn subject choice, composition, paint handling and many more aspects. Take your pictures from amatuer to impressive!
Being artistic is more than just copying what you see. If you want to be unique, add your own touch and flair to your artwork, then get guidance and encouragement from Valerie.
Bring a blank canvas and learn how to start your paintings for success. Side-by-side, we go from subject, composition and preparation to beginning brushstrokes. By the end of the day you'll leave with a great start from which you can continue to completion at home.
Although a great painting is rarely made in a day, a 'sketch' painting can be. Throughout history, painters have created small, fast paintings to 'sketch-out' their ideas and you can go home with a complete sketch painting. This way, the whole painting process is covered.
Have you got unsatisfactory paintings at home stuck at a point where you can't make progress? Bring them along to the studio and get guidance on each one...what you tried and what went wrong. We'll work together to fix them so you know what to do right next time.
