A wonderful bass fishing, foraging & food experience on the Welsh coast.

Art Workshops
with Louise Burdett

Join me as I show you how I created the series of oil paintings 'Lawrenny Sunrise'. We'll work in high quality acrylics on an 18 x 22” canvas board. I’ll show you how to build your painting in layers, working whole canvas, demonstrating each stage as we go. It will be an enjoyable day where we'll go from blank white canvas to a fully formed painting.
