This exciting course at Maison du Guit offers a rare opportunity to work side by side with one of the country’s leading artists, and it will include painting landscapes, figures in a landscape as well as portraits in the studio using a model. Antony’s laid back, inclusive and informal approach guarantees an insightful and stimulating week discovering new methods of creative expression. Antony, who was elected to the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1996, has carefully planned a schedule to suit all standards and tastes.
