Service Description

Join celebrated contemporary artist Jonathan Freemantle as he shares with you his deep and extensive knowledge of master painters through time. Each week you will be introduced to a new master artist’s work. While making a copy of one of their great works you will learn their unique methods and techniques, discovering how each artist approached their world of painting. You will be given step by step guidance to each painting method; so this course is suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced artists wanting to add to their skill set. For students wishing to join the course for more than one term there will be the opportunity to develop and deepen the learned methods over time, spending longer on each painting as the year progresses.
