Watercolour Workshops and Retreats
Discover the joys of painting in watercolours with my tailored classes. My courses are perfect both for beginners and more experienced painters looking to refine their skills. I provide personalized instruction, demonstration, and hands-on experimentation. Most of my classes are located in the scenic surroundings of North Yorkshire: York, The Howardian Hills, North York Moors - all ideal locations to find inspiration.
