Regular
Art Classes, organised by Tolquhon Gallery, are held at Tolquhon
Studio Workshop in Udny Green, a picturesque conservation village,
12 miles north of Aberdeen. The former Fleeman’s Shop
on the village green has been transformed into an attractive, well
equipped studio providing an ideal space for painting. When
weather allows, classes also paint out of doors.
Classes are small and informal with no more than 10 people in each so the tutors can give everyone personal attention. Daytime and evening classes run for ten weeks at a time. There are also Weekend Workshops each summer. There are courses in a range of media to suit all levels of experience including absolute beginners. Donald Murray's Watercolour - come all Ye classes attract beginners and improvers. Oil Painting for All with Catriona Millar provides a valuable opportunity to work in oils. Danny Ross welcomes beginners as well as improvers to his Art of Flower Painting class and in his Positive Painting class, he teaches those with some experience who wish to improve their skills while Joyce Taylor leads Saturday classes, Pathway to Painting, for all abilities, which are ideal for those who are busy during the week. |
