We are incredibly lucky to have the use of the house and garden at no 5Coastguard Cottages by the mouth of the Cuckmere to base this course in Seascape Painting. This is one of the most beautiful and iconic stretches of coast in the country.  Looking up river are the famous meanders and from the garden there are views to the seven sisters as well as many other views. We will look at oil painting techniques and different approaches to painting waves and the colour relationships between sea beach and sky. Sessions begin with ashort talk and include painting demonstrations  The course is organised in partnership with Rob and Lucy who live at the cottage and are very welcoming hosts 
 
The course fee includes a delicious lunch each day as well as teas and coffees

The fee does not include accommodation. E mail me if you would likea list of local accommodation
