Still Life Painting - The Shared Studio workshop - with Jade Butler

Join artist Jade Butler for a relaxed and inspiring 3-hour painting workshop to celebrate the works of Tony and Jane O'Malley. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant still life paintings of Jane O'Malley, participants will explore colour, composition, and expressive brushwork while creating their own still life painting. Suitable for all levels, this evening workshop offers a welcoming space to experiment and enjoy painting in good company.
