What happens in this class?

In this class we will be working from close-up pictures of textures taken on daily walks. This could be worn down paint on a canal boat, paint peeling off a door, a section of pavement, some moss on a tree - whatever catches your eye.

This was a really excellent class. Having never really used texture in painting before, Georgie's teaching was brilliantly clear and we all had a really enjoyable hour and a half. It went much too quickly but I made a really interesting piece of art which I'm going to continue to work on with my new-found skills. Look forward to another course Georgie - thanks so much.

Georgie was a great teacher, I learned ways of making texture which I’ve never been able to achieve in my own pictures until now! Thanks so much
