Bettina Schroeder

Saturday 26th June – Friday 2nd July

Bettina’s courses are suitable for all, from absolute beginners to accomplished painters, to make the most of their abilities and to find a more personal approach. The emphasis is on how to capture the initial excitement on first spotting a subject, without getting too bogged down in technicalities. Tuition will be in watercolour mainly but also in other media as required.

Daily demonstrations (in - or outdoors) are tailored to the particular needs of the students and to help you to get started. The tuition will also deal with general painting problems such as perspective, choice of colour, composition, shadows and many other tricks of the trade. Particular attention is given to wet-in-wet technique as well as some of the ground rules for beginners. Above all, Bettina’s courses aim to enhance the pleasure of painting whilst improving your skills.

Bettina is a London-based artist who lives and works in London and exhibits regularly in the UK, throughout mainland Europe and America.  She has also been teaching for many years and runs courses in Scotland, Morocco, Tuscany and Sicily amongst other locations. “Bettina is an exemplary teacher”, said Nicholas Shakespeare in The Telegraph Magazine.

Bettina works in watercolours, oils and other media. She divides her time between landscape painting in the summer, and figure painting in her London studio during the winter. Her most recent shows include the A&D Gallery, London; Galerie Claudine Hohl, Zurich, Switzerland; and Santa Fe Contemporary Art Fair, USA.
