Materials are not included, but we can advise on what you should bring.
Prices start at £300 which includes all tuition, bed and breakfast accommodation, homemade lunches, cake and refreshments.
Places are limited, so booking is essential to avoid disappointment.

About David Webb
My artwork is mostly watercolour-based and, with a background as an illustrator, is unashamedly figurative. I do however, paint in a looser style than I once did in my illustration days. A couple of decades of highly detailed work led me to wonder that, perhaps, there might be bigger brushes available.
My work today is rooted in the pure watercolour tradition. I use transparent washes to build up my paintings, the whiteness of the paper playing an important role as I do not use white/opaque paint. This way of painting requires forward planning as any highlights must be avoided.
I work from life as much as possible but also work on more considered, or larger work, in the studio.
I have always had an interest in nature, which still inspires me to paint animals and wildlife today. However, my range of subject matter has broadened over the years to include landscape, seascape, buildings and still life.
One thing that inspires, whatever the subject, is light. If the light and atmosphere are right then any subject can be something worthwhile to paint.
