Studio Courses with Rebecca
I have now relocated these courses to my local village hall so that we can spread out and have lots of space around us.
Days are grouped together to give people who travel a long way the chance to stay in local B & Bs.
Venue: Stoke Canon Jubilee Hall, High St, Stoke Canon, EX5 4AP
Tutor: Rebecca de Mendonca
Times: 10 to 4
Price: £85 per day
This includes materials, teas, coffee and biscuits but not lunch. There is a friendly community-run pub next to the hall, which provides hot and cold lunches, or you could bring your own packed lunch.
‘The art was most enjoyable and I feel that I have learnt a great deal, all credit to Rebecca for teaching me a totally new medium, and giving me the confidence to try new things.’ Angela of Cheam.

Seascapes in Pastels

Using pastels to draw and paint seascapes. This course was so popular in 2023 that I am offering it again in 2024!

Rebecca will start the day with a demonstration of how she uses pastels for seascape work, and then you will spend the rest of the day working on one or two pieces of your own, with continued help and examples from Rebecca.
You can bring your own reference, or Rebecca will have a selection of reference available to use.
This will be a course to suit all drawing abilities apart from complete beginners. Everyone can progress at a pace they are happy with.
