MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOP

Would you like to have a go at painting in miniature?

For the past few years the Hilliard Society has offered the unique opportunity to take part in a full day’s Miniature Painting Workshop. The intention is to introduce the technique of miniature painting to beginners as well as helping artists who may already have some experience but would like to brush up on their skills or try out new ideas.

Expert tutors are on hand all day, as well as the opportunity to view the full exhibition in the main hall, and participation in the workshop also entitles you to a free entry of one work into the following year's exhibition.

"A miniature painting can be worked on any media and in any medium - bearing in mind that a smooth surface is required to execute the miniature techniques of fine detail and brushwork. It should be of good composition and tonal balance when viewed from a distance and, by virtue of its detail and fine execution, should stand up to close inspection. Mounts should be accurately cut and frames of high quality and not overwhelming."

Please get in touch if you would like to reserve a place at the 2027 workshop
