Beginners Canal Art Castle Scene 9/3

Join me for this beginners class, learning how to paint in the traditional 'Roses and Castles' canal art style. You’ll be working on a round placemat, using the same enamel paints used to decorate the boats themselves. 

In this workshop we'll cover a wee bit of history as well as; 

- development of the art, 

- what kit you need (and how to treat it right!) 

- Different styles of castles.

I'll guide you through each step, provide all materials and share hints and tips along the way. You'll take home a beautiful castle scene. If there’s something you would like to paint instead of a placemat, please bring it along with you. Please note, it must be background painted in white in order to paint your castle on top.

In the morning we'll be be preparing the background for the landscape. The afternoon will be painting the castle scene. No experience needed, and you don’t even have to be ‘artistic’! Please don't wear your favourite t-shirt, as you'll be getting painty and stinky.

Tea and coffee will be provided throughout the day.

There is the option to visit the on-site cafe for lunch, or feel free to bring your own.
