WATERWAYS 2021 workshops
As this was my first experience of a Painting Workshop, I found it very interesting, helpful and encouraging. Denise provided good and helpful advice to all participants relating to each individuals ability.
Techniques explained included Use of colour (Triadic Colour Wheel), brushes, plant forms and structures and light and dark sources.
Time was given to practise some of the techniques.
Thank you so much for today’s workshop in Ely. Though I already knew the techniques of wash and glazing, I’d never put it into practise and I’ve learnt so much. Patience is as much part of the technique as the actual painting. Really enjoyable.

I found the workshop very informative Tony gave good guidance to the subject explaining the techniques required. My only regret was 3 hours could have been longer
as we had to rush towards the end. To cover all aspects of sky formation a longer workshop would be better.
Never the less it was an enjoyable experience and I have gained some valuable ideas to take away and practice.
Tony Brown
I really enjoyed my day and learned some valuable tips.
Frances Barthorpe
An excellent enjoyable workshop that was relaxed and informative with excellent guidance on how to paint skies. Really good tutor, I would attend again.
Denise Schoenberg
I thoroughly enjoyed the day and learned some great tips to get me back into drawing and painting again. I have been enjoying working on my sketches since the class, thank you for encouraging me to pick this up again!!
