Led by Mandy Henderson, these classes will work with varied paint techniques, including advice on colour mixing, and help participants work towards portrait and landscape painting. The classes are subsidised by a one-off grant and participants will only pay 50%. The cost is therefore £20 per person for the full four-week course. Places are limited: contact An Talla Solais to book.
