An apron and an A3 folder for your paintings would also be useful. If you have favourite brushes etc you would like to use, then by all means bring these along. If you are looking to make a weekend of it, there are two excellent pubs with rooms nearby: The Worsley Arms in Hovingham and The Fairfax Arms in Gilling East. About Your Tutor After thirty years as a secondary teacher working around the world, I decided to follow my true passion for painting. Since July 2024 I have been teaching art full time. My main aim in teaching is that you learn skills and techniques to enjoy painting in watercolour, and also that you have a restorative, relaxing time playing with colour and texture.
