A Big Painting Day
10.30am to 4.30pm
£67
Bold Beginners and Improvers - Any or Mixed Media
Go large in figurative or abstract style
They say ‘size matters’ and that’s definitely the theme for today! But large is comparative. Artists often find they have a natural format, some paint miniatures, some medium, some large.
Any subject, any style goes today and you might want to find some inspiration pics and prepare a composition in advance so you have lots of time to paint, or use mine.
