Do you like mysteries and secrets?

[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”24″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]What do you see when you go to an art gallery? Walls full of paintings that hold little interest because they mean nothing to you? Imagine the thrill of being in on the secrets that paintings hold. There is something very wonderful about uncovering what an artist is trying to tell you, and why, or knowing what a painting has ‘seen’ in a previous life. Believe me, the stories within the paintings are very often matched by the stories of the works themselves! Join me for a gallery art tour that will leave you full of insights and inspired to know more.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button_2″ nectar_play_button_color=”Default-Accent-Color” image_url=”3802″ hover_effect=”defaut” box_shadow=”none” border_radius=”none” play_button_size=”default” video_url=”https://beyondthepalette.co.uk/downloads/GalleryTourEdit.mp4″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]

What can I expect from a Beyond the Palette tour at the National Gallery?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We’ll meet in the gallery and after a brief introduction to National Gallery and its collection, we’ll hone in on a carefully curated number of works, spending time with each to really get to grips with the fascinating and often bizarre aspects of its creation as well as the story the image is supposed to tell! Questions and comments are always welcome; this is an interactive experience, and most definitely not a lecture. Most tours last around 90 minutes and we generally look at six works.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text el_class=”about”]

How many people are there on each tour?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For any scheduled tour, the maximum number of guests is 10 to enable everyone to see the painting we are discussing up close and offer the opportunity to ask questions and enjoy a fully interactive experience. If you wish to book a private tour for a larger number of guests, that’s absolutely fine. People who know each other are seldom as shy when it comes to interaction so we can still ensure no one misses out![/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text el_class=”about”]

How do I book a gallery art tour?

I have a terrible memory, do you send post tour notes?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]I do send post tour notes! After your gallery experience, I’ll send you a crib sheet detailing the paintings we’ve seen and some little reminders of some of the things I’ve mentioned during the tour.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text el_class=”about”]
