Capture the energy, beauty and power of animals in motion using acrylics. Let go conventional ideas about realistic colour and obsessive detail, and instead be expressive and spontaneous with colour, launch into bold, sweeping brushstrokes on a large scale, and communicate more with less.

The focus will be more on freedom of expression than on achieving an accurate likeness, though Lois will be happy to give advice on both. Prior experience of animal portraiture is helpful but not essential. Ideal workshop for beginners and anyone wanting to loosen up their painting style.
