Relax! Make yourself a cup of tea or coffee (or maybe something stronger!) and enjoy a soothing 15 minute-long video that has just been made for us by our charming Watermill painting tutor Pamme Turner. You will enjoy her laid-back style as she tells you the secrets of turning a plein air sketch into a successful finished painting.
And when you’ve enjoyed the advice from an expert (Pamme is a painting professor, no less!), why not enjoy her company in person when she leads another sun-filled, fun-filled painting course at the Watermill next year. As a guest said of one of her previous courses: “More educational than a whole college semester! And so much more funâ€
