Workshops & Painting Holidays
Experience a week of relaxation and painting. The portrait painting holiday is a step out of our busy lives and a chance to reset. Kate will show you how she develops ideas and creates her paintings.
Learn how to work from both photographic sources and a life model. We will go through the stages of oil painting and learn a variety of oil painting techniques.
