West Norfolk Arts Centre has established a solid reputation as a quality provider of structured recreational painting courses designed to meet the needs of complete beginners and experienced artists alike.
Since we began the Art Centre in 1993 we have run hundreds of painting courses and met thousands of people many of whom return time and again from all over the UK to enjoy our painting courses - either at our Castle Rising based studio or on one of our many organised painting holidays abroad.
Many return because they are confident they can rely on high standards of tuition from some the UK's best known art tutors and because they feel comfortable that they can switch off from work and enjoy the learning process in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
Similarly, the desire to get away, meet new people and explore a fresh creative interest is, very often, the trigger for first time visitors – we offer courses to suit all ability levels.
Making a welcome return is our book binding course on the 25th/26th April. Bookbinding is a great way to make a personalised present or a sketchbook for yourself.
Some of our courses include art materials and we have to thank Daler-Rowney, Croma Atelier and The Cumberland Pencil Company for their kind sponsorship of these courses. Upcoming sponsored courses include Sketchbook Techniques and Fill your Sketchbook, both in April and Getting Interactive with Acrylics in May.
In addition to painting courses in West Norfolk we also operate painting courses in Venice, Lake Garda and Dubrovnik together with a Summer course in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. Watercolour, acrylic, oil painting and mixed media all feature with subjects ranging from representational Landscape to Abstract and Portraits to Botanical Flower painting. |
