Learn brushstrokes and techniques for painting grasses, flowers, trees, mountains and landscapes in this online blended learning program for beginners (adults).

This blended learning program involves live group learning online sessions including guidance and feedback to improve personal progress, access to pre-recorded instructional videos that people can watch in their own time as well as a monthly online zoom cafe (where people can meet up for tea and a chat and, if they’d like, show their paintings) and a private members art community area where members can keep in touch.

There are many different ways to engage with this online blended learning program, and each subscriber can decide on their own way to engage with the learning to suit their own needs, level of experience and availability.
