I warmly invite you to join me for a studio experience day, and to paint your very own Cornish Seascape in acrylic paint!  

No experience is necessary, this class is aimed at beginners, but also for anyone who would like to come along for a re-fresh of the basic principles of painting (minimum age requirement is 16).  This will be an enjoyable and creative day, in the beautiful natural surroundings of Enchanted Valley Yurts (https://www.enchantedvalleyyurts.co.uk/), at Tregrove Farm, near Looe, in Cornwall.

With over 25 years of painting experience, I will share with you the key foundations of not only *how* I go about creating a painting, but also the reasons *why* I work in this way, giving you insights which took me years to learn, and providing you with the best possible start on your painting journey.  My aim is for a fun filled and inspiring experience, which will also empower you with the skills to continue creating your own paintings long after the class has finished.

We will cover:

-	What materials are necessary or helpful in starting a painting
-	An introduction to acrylic paints, why they are fantastic, and how to get the best from them
-	Basic colour theory and mixing, brushes and techniques
-	An introduction to my style of painting, and the key elements of how we lay the paint down and why

The class will run from 10am until 4pm, with a 45 minute break for lunch.

All materials are provided, along with hot drinks and biscuits, however please do bring your own packed lunch along with you, and any special snacks you may like for individual dietaries.  We will aim for you to have a beautiful, completed painting to take home with you at the end of the day, along with a full materials list to refer to if you would like to continue painting after our day together.

We have a stunning location for our studio space, courtesy of Enchanted Valley Yurts.  This gorgeous valley is managed for wildlife, and provides truly inspiring and relaxing natural surroundings for our classes.  Due to the location, there is a short walk across a sloped field from the car park to access the studio.  All facilities on site are in cosy log cabins, with steps to access.

These are designed to be smaller, welcoming classes of up to 6 people, to allow you to have the best possible experience, with plenty of support.  Therefore please do book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.

I can’t wait to welcome you!



Paint a Cornish Seascape in Acrylics

Joe Moore

I learnt a lot from the class from how to mix colours and how to work in stages to produce a work of art.  Laura is an excellent  tutor.  I am looking forward to more classes in the future from Laura.

Sara Merrin

I booked this course on a whim after coming across it on Facebook. I had not really done any painting since school so I wasn't sure what to expect as a beginner. I'm so glad I found it! The location of the studio is beautiful and peaceful, it is well equipped and bright.  Laura uses all good quality materials and is patient and informative in her teaching. I learned so much during the day and have definitely been inspired to do more acrylic painting. It is great value for money for the experience you receive.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this workshop to others.  

Corinne Brown

I thought the class was very good value for money, it was well structured and Laura explained everything clearly and was happy to clarify when questions were asked. I would happily attend another of her classes.

Eileen Clout

Laura's step by step approach to painting is ideal giving plenty of opportunity to ask questions and work towards a completed painting.  Would highly recommend for less experienced and especially beginner painters. Look forward to another workshop soon.

Jenny Turl

Had a great day, learned a lot and came away and revived my love of painting in beautiful Cornwall. Many thanks.

Paint the Cornish Coastline - View from Mallet's Cottage

Judy Pilkington-Wood

The studio is in a lovely rural setting and Laura gives a warm friendly welcome.
She takes you through mixing colours using a basic pallet and will break down the set picture into sections and show you, on her own canvas, how to achieve the desired effects. Always there to advise. A lovely teacher. I can't recommend her workshops more highly

As I'mi fairly new to painting I was keen to learn more.  I enjoyed my day with you and learnt so much. The use of colour and mixing techniques. So important for good results.  With your guidance I was pleased with the painting i produced. I'm really inspired to continue painting using my new found knowledge. Thank the you so much.
