layer, and bring luminous ideas to life. Each week builds your skills

ABOUT THE INTERMEDIATE PAINTING CLASSES
For Oil
painting, Watercolor, Acrylic, Mixed Media and Gouache.
The
intermediate painting classes offer one-on-one, individual art tuition
within a supportive and inspiring group environment. Designed for
students who have completed a beginners course — as well as
intermediate to advanced artists — each participant works at their own
level and progresses at a comfortable, personal pace.
These
sessions are created to inspire, guide, and further support developing
artists who are ready to deepen their skills, build confidence, and
explore their creative voice. Whether you’re continuing from the
beginners course or seeking fresh direction and motivation, you’ll
receive thoughtful, personalised guidance throughout.
Classes
often begin with a relaxed group discussion, followed by individual
assistance from Bonny Hut, who works closely with each artist during
the session to help nurture their unique style and artistic goals. 🎨✨

WHAT TO BRING
😊 Paintings that you are
busy working on and / or paintings you intend to start.
😊 Your art materials
including your paints, canvas, reference material and brushes. .
😊 If your paintings are
smallish you may be able to leave them in the class. If they are medium
or large you will probably need to take them home each week and bring
them back for class.
😊 Its will be better if you are able to do some work on it at
home anyway. |
