Come and try out this wonderfully effective yet simple combination of just two mediums with artist Kate Conway. This workshop is for all levels and perfect for beginners. You need no previous experience to produce dramatic and beautiful results. Using only charcoal and white acrylic paint, you will produce a striking painting ready to hang on your walls. What makes this workshop so much fun is that we will be combining drawing and painting - mixing two mediums and techniques together to create something strong and unique. You will work on A4 size format, but feel free to bring in something larger if you would like to. All material costs are included.
