Workshops
New for 2012
Learn      Create     Enjoy!

If you like the style of Leila's paintings, why not have a go yourself?

The workshops are relaxed and inspiring, packed with plenty of ideas for you to try.
You will be shown
various techniques, and given time to explore them with
guidance from Leila.  Come along with an open mind, ready to try something
new, and you will be rewarded with the joy of creative discovery.

The emphasis is on experimenting with acrylic paint and mixed media to
create exciting textures and effects for you to develop in your own work.
Guidance can also be given on composition, colour and the
use of acrylic paints and mediums in general.

All the workshops are suitable for complete beginners,
or experienced artists wanting to learn something new.
Even if you think you "can't paint" you'll be surprised at
what you can achieve with a nudge in the right direction!

As well as a selection of Leila’s own paintings, there will be a variety
of art books for you to browse. Tea and coffee is provided.
Please bring acrylic paints, brushes, some boards to paint on, a
sketch book and whatever materials you have. There will
be a selection of materials to supplement your own,
and MDF boards, 30cm x 20cm, available for £1.
