Workshops

In person workshops

If you prefer to learn directly, rather than online, Liz runs enjoyable day workshops. Whether you are an experienced artist wanting to explore new techniques or a beginner who hasn't picked up a brush since leaving school, this exciting series of events will be perfect for you.

Courses are held at the beautiful Micklems Farm in Knowl Hill, Berkshire. All materials are provided and all you need to do is bring your enthusiasm. If you need a list of local accommodation so you can make a break of it, please get in touch.

If you want help choosing a workshop, then please don't hesitate to contact Liz.

Comments about Liz's in person workshops

L

As a convert from acrylic painting to watercolours, I learnt so many valuable tips and techniques form Liz, how to make use of the colours, tones and how to put them on your paper, very simple once you know how!! So thanks for that Liz, the demonstrations are easy to follow and understand and offer many 'light bulb' moments.

Not only is Liz a great artist, she is also a great tutor. Liz has a relaxed and friendly manner and delivers a well structured course. Her critiques are fair, constructive and encouraging. I went hoping to learn how to 'let go' and loosen up a bit - and certainly achieved my objective, and learnt good techniques, as well as having fun. I'll be back for more!

I am a watercolour artist living in the UK. I create paintings which help people see the natural world in a new and fresh light. My paintings are full of joie de vivre and capture the beauty and energy of nature. I have written four watercolour books and teach popular face to face workshops. I share a film each week on YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/LizChadertonArt
