Bookings are now being taken for Barnoldswick Library for Monday afternoon Painting classes in April these take place from 1-3pm in the upstairs meeting room. This month features three different watercolour settings. The first class of the month on Monday 3rd April paints a landscape featuring Plockton in Wester Ross and includes most elements you could possibly find in a landscape. So there is water, boats, buildings, trees and a mountain. The classes then continue every Monday and include a session on painting trees from sketches and a scene featuring puffins on the Farne Islands. There is no class on Monday 17th of April as it is Easter Monday and the library is closed.

Full programs are available at the library.

The cost is £10 per half day session and includes all materials needed to complete the painting - just turn up on the day, sit down and paint. All sessions are independent of one another. To book just contact Malcolm on 07776036674 or just turn up as there is usually an extra place set. See www.malcolmmbullock.co.uk/articles for further information.

Full programs are available at the library.

The cost is £10 per half day session and includes all materials needed to complete the painting - just turn up on the day, sit down and paint. All sessions are independent of one another.

The sessions feature a paint- along where the participants will start and finish the painting within the session. The techniques used to produce the painting will follow a step by step approach. This method of teaching allows the individual to quickly develop confidence in using the paints. Skills are also built up through the explanation of the various techniques used in painting the scene as well as the theory, such as composition and colour theory, that goes with it. The development of a personal style of painting is encouraged through individual assessment at various stages of the painting. No one paints exactly the same, we are all unique.

Booking is preferable as course numbers will be kept reasonably small to ensure individual attention. I do usually set an extra place or two so it is also possible to turn up on the day.

Booking can be taken at the information counter at the library or call, text (07776036674) or contact me via the "contact me" page of this website and I will pass the booking on to the library.
