Enjoy a fantastic luxury stay at Costislost House in North Cornwall whilst learning some new painting skills.   This 3 day art course is set at the beautiful Costislost House near Wadebridge a short drive  from  the stunning North Cornish Coast.

The course is aimed at both beginners and artists who wish to explore new methods of working.  It  is about a response to coast and landscape through colour, marks and textures. The course is location and studio based. You will be drawing directly from the landscape, exploring how to create a unique colour palette;  experimenting with mark making  using a range of different tools to create individual textures and  building up layers of colour, then applying the new skills you have learnt to develop your ideas on canvas with one to one tuition available.
