Landscape Acrylics on Canvas (2 half-day course)


  • Yardley Arts, The Old School Hall The Square, Yardley Hastings Northampton, England, NN7 1EU United Kingdom (map)

Enjoy the experience of painting a landscape in acrylics with the advantages of a textured canvas.  It can also go directly on your wall without a frame!    

We will follow a step by step demonstrated approach and you will learn and use a wide range of techniques in the process. This is a two half-day course, of 6 hours tuition and follows on from my earlier Yardley Arts courses. New students are welcome!

The small group makes more personal tuition time available.

Chris is a fantastic teacher and helped us all to produce paintings we were proud of
