Kamille Corry Workshop 2026
This five day floral painting workshop will challenge the students to capture the ever changing form, character and beauty of fresh flowers. We will spend the first half of the workshop practicing techniques for individual flowers - concentrating on colour, form and values, as well as using the consistency of oil paints to describe texture and form.
The second half of the course we will do a small composition with multiple flowers, working on the design, light effect and overall color scheme. Tips and tricks to keep the flowers in place and fresh as possible will be discussed as well. Kamille will be painting alongside the students and giving individual critiques throughout the week.
Experience painting in oils is highly recommended.
Contemporary Portrait Sessions - hosted by Jessica Britton
Join Jessica Britton every second Saturday of the month where together, you will practice, experiment, and explore portraiture through the expressive power of colour. A compelling portrait doesn’t just capture a likeness — it feels alive, stirs emotion, and reveals the essence of the sitter. In this relaxed, untutored session, you’ll be encouraged to play with bold colour combinations on the live model using costume, dynamic backdrops, and coloured lighting.
Beginners will gain confidence exploring new ideas in a supportive, pressure-free space, while experienced artists can push the boundaries of their practice and discover fresh inspiration. Come ready to experiment, take creative risks, and see portraiture in a whole new light.
