Classes
Ever wanted to paint that beautiful landscape or flower or that portrait of a loved one, but weren't sure how? Then read on!
Danny and Val invite you to join our attractive and friendly studio in the heart of the Kent countryside. If you live in the Maidstone or the Tonbridge and Malling areas of Kent, then this is the place for you to learn new skills, or improve on existing ones, in all aspects of painting and drawing in a relaxed and at times lively atmosphere!
Classes are held in drawing, watercolour, pastel, oils and acrylics, both for adults and for children, and are geared principally to the wishes of each individual student, from complete beginners to the more experienced. We can also cater for those who wish to explore the joys of drypoint, collography and lithography. You go at your own pace! Classes are small, with no more than 4 to 7 students at any one time, thereby ensuring everyone receives individual tuition.
Many of our students have gone on to sell and exhibit their work through local exhibitons and galleries, whilst others have been inspired to embark on Fine Art Degree courses. See some of our students work here
Danny and Val are also available for demonstrations and critiques to local art groups and societies, with Danny specialising in the traditional time honoured methods in oil painting. We are also avilable to give slide lectures in Art History.
Masterclass Workshops
We hope with this initial introduction to oil painting masterclass to broaden your experience and enjoyment of painting in oils, with particular reference to the portrait.
We start by discussing the merits of bvarious painting surfaces and demonstration of the preparation of a stretched canvas for painting, and on to the actual painting using traditional, time tested methods, and discussing thee various mediums and glazes available, and their uses.

ART IN THE GARDEN, AUGUST 12th 2008
Our annual "painting day" workshop in the garden of the farm owners, Mark and Elizabeth English, located at the back of our studio at Manor Farm, was not blessed with the best of weather this year. But despite that, the sun did occasionally make an appearance and the rain didn't really take hold till we finished, and a very pleasant and enjoyable day was had by all, with some good works produced yet again. See more photos of the day!
