Come and enjoy an activity that will have you thinking outside the box and learn to paint something when you don't really know what to paint. Taking you from the unknown to the unexpected.

The process creates opportunities, allowing a new sense of freedom to be extravagant. Expanding and developing a new way of expression.
 
The process leaves a little more intrigue, there is always more to the paintings than first meets the eye. “Angels in the architecture, the devil’s in the detail”. Leaving space and light, yet intimate detail hidden to find later.
 
Each painting’s story begins as simple washes and the subject emerges almost on its own, letting the paint decide the subject and your knowledge and experience over time to determine the outcome.
