We are delighted to announce a return to our Northumberland SEA workshop for 2026. Set in the heart of rural Northumberland, we invite you to take part in a two day workshop painting heavy horses and racing thoroughbreds. This is a fantastic opportunity to paint two very different horse breeds on consecutive days under the expert tutelage of Malcolm Coward, Honorary SEA.<\/p>\n

Whatever your level of painting, this is a great opportunity to compare the challenges of painting horses of different physiques in a safe and encouraging environment.<\/p>\n
