2 Days | 2nd & 3rd July 2026 | OILS ‘The tuition was excellent, with lots of new ways of looking and approaches to painting. I learnt a lot which I can use in my own practice’ – Caroline Smith The course will be an exciting opportunity to be tutored by a New English Art Club member and a highly inspirational artist. To start Louise will introduce her work, and outline her way of working. Throughout the course there will be a focus on learning to loosen up, and the importance of working quickly and directly. Students will draw and create studies using oil on paper, concentrating on simplifying impressions and identifying the main visual ideas. We will then begin to work on a painting, or maybe more than one. There will be a critique at lunchtime on the second day. Some of Louise’s own work and sketchbooks, together with information about other relevant artists, will be available as reference and from which to draw inspiration and knowledge. An intimate course with a maximum of 8 students, so each paitnter will get a good amount of one to one tuition and attention during the two days. www.louisebalaam.co.uk Includes good coffee and refreshments. 10am – 4pm both days Pay full amount or deposit. Balance due no later than 8 weeks prior to the start of the course. Please do read our Terms and Conditions for all our payment terms.
