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.

Meet Kate Sparrow
'I booked the course with the aim of learning about painting with oils and developing my abilities in portraiture. Kate is a wonderful teacher and I came away feeling I'd achieved what I'd hoped to and a lot more. The atmosphere was welcoming and fun, the company was great, the location was gorgeous and the food was wonderful. Kate also went above and beyond in providing opportunities to explore the area with activities and excursions that kept us entertained outside of the studio. I couldn't recommend it more highly'
