Questions you may have…

How do I book?
Using the details above, add the workshops of your choice to your cart and pay for them on the checkout page, this can be found at the top of each web page shaped like a shopping trolley. As soon as the transaction has gone through, you will receive an email with all of the details for you to keep, please check your spam folders if it hasn’t reached you, for future reference putting ali@learningtopaint.co.uk as a contact into your email supplier helps to stop this happening. Keep this email very safe and make sure you give yourself plenty of time to read it, well before your session, as it contains what preparation you may need to consider and the materials that are going to be used. Should you misplace this email, we are very happy to send it again but cannot guarantee that it will arrive in time if we are only given short notice.

What do I need to do to attend in person?
Come to the studio (address at the bottom of each web page and in your booking email), allowing approximately 15 minutes before we start to set up. When you get to the studio you will find plenty of parking, two steps up to the studio or level access at the rear and a warm welcome. There are good quality refreshments and toilet facilities at the studio, please be aware that we are situated on a large working farm and so there may be animals, vehicles and a workforce both on the approach and around the studio.

I’d like to discuss what will be covered during the workshop - what can I do?
You are very welcome to contact Ali ahead of booking without any obligation. The images you see in the description will be the type of resources we will work from and if you would like to see the style of Ali’s painting, please browse the gallery section of this website to see how she interprets a subject. Ali does not prescriptively paint a sample piece ahead of the workshop so that you can see her overcome the same creative issues that you may be experiencing in real time. This helps to keep her work fresh and spontaneous.

What materials will I need?
When your booking is confirmed you will be able to access a full equipment list so that you have plenty of time to prepare before the session. Ali recommends certain products but the success of your session does not rely on you duplicating the brand or quantities of materials you may need. At the start of every session, Ali always runs through the alternatives or takes questions on whether what you have is suitable. Should you wish to discuss this ahead of booking, you are more than welcome to email her without obligation.

What happens next?
As soon as your booking has been confirmed and you have received your email, gather your materials and look forward to spending time with Ali in a creative environment, exploring new painted possibilities.
