Not just creating a painting but learning how to express your creativity fully

Join us for a five day art course at the relaxing Cober Hill Hotel, Scarborough. All abilities, in any media, are welcome at one of these friendly courses. Tony Hogan, a professional artist and qualified tutor who has run this course for us for over a decade, will guide you at a speed and level suited to each individuals needs.

The course is fully inclusive of tutoring, en suite accommodation (no single room supplement) and all meals. A large, light, airy studio is available for indoor painting and transport to en plein air locations is provided when applicable.

Tony is an internationally recognised professional artist and tutor with artwork in homes and galleries around the world.

He works for many leading manufacturers as an ambassador and demonstrator on T.V., at trade exhibitions, for art groups, plus writing magazines articles on materials, styles and techniques for leading art publications.

The week starts with the group gathering on the Monday at 3pm in the studio on day of arrival where there will be an introductory talk followed by a demonstration before your evening meal.

On Tuesday and Wednesday those wishing to learn and enjoy to paint en plain air, will be escorted to a sight in or around Scarborough accompanied by Tony. Anyone wishing to stay and work in the studio is welcome to do so. For those working en plein air we leave the hotel approximately 10am after a hearty breakfast and return around 2pm to the studio. At approximately 3pm on these two days Tony will give further demonstrations using different media and techniques for those wishing to watch before the evening meal. After your meal the studio will be available to continue painting or just chill out in a comfortable lounge with a glass of wine/coffee?

On Thursday the en plein air painting is done in the extensive grounds of the hotel throughout the day (or of course if desired just use the studio). Again on the Thursday after the evening meal, for those wishing to do so, we meet in the studio for the art work produced during the course to be reviewed and discussed by Tony.

Cober Hill is in a delightful location on the Whitby road from Scarborough set in its own private grounds which, in themselves, offer many painting opportunities.

The course concludes after breakfast on the Friday.
