Class sizes are of of 8 - 10 Sessions start with short painting demos, presenting different materials, tools, and techniques.

Online Zoom painting sessions

Cecil provides a painting demonstration directly during each Zoom meeting, using a high definition webcam and talking about his technique and procedure as he works. Paint along with him, or just watch and then access the Zoom recording later to create your own painting.

Cecil reveals the learned methods and techniques that have informed his own paintings. These classes involve an exploration of a broad mix of paintings, from artists such as Edward Seago, John Singer Sargent, Eric Ravilious, JMW Turner, the French Impressionists as well as some of Cecil's own work.
