6-Week Landscape Painting Course | Mondays 7-9PM

Limited to 10 students – intimate, focused, and fun!

Discover the joy of painting with artist Nici Le Gear in this beginner-friendly landscape painting course. Whether you’ve never held a brush or just want structured guidance, you’ll leave with a completed painting and skills to continue your artistic journey.

Note: Monday classes will resume in January 2026. Check out my Wednesday class for my current class. 

Why This Course Stands Out

• True beginner focus: Demystifies painting fundamentals without overwhelming you
• Proven step-by-step method
• Small group vibe where questions are always welcome
• Relaxed studio environment – no pressure, just progress

✓ Step-by-step tuition to complete one detailed landscape (or two shorter studies)
✓ Personalised feedback tailored to your pace
✓ Core techniques made simple: Composition, colour mixing, and brushwork
✓ All quality materials provided – just bring your enthusiasm!
