What will I learn?

This structured art course will help you develop a wide range of drawing and painting skills. You'll begin by exploring pencil, charcoal, watercolour pencils and fine line pens, learning techniques such as shading, texture, perspective, composition and form through a variety of subjects including still life, landscapes and cityscapes. You will then move on to painting with acrylics or watercolours, creating your own still life or working from photographs of animals. In the final part of the course, you'll focus on portraiture, learning how to draw and paint the human face, understand proportions and capture character and expression. Suitable for all abilities, this course offers a supportive and enjoyable way to build confidence and develop your artistic skills.

Who is the course for?

This course is suitable for both beginners and students who have already attended our previous courses and workshops. If you are new to this there is no need to worry, you will be under the professional supervision of our art tutor Marina.

Will I have to provide anything?

Please bring a selection of pencils, watercolour pencils, charcoal sticks and fine line pens, along with some good quality paper and a sketch book.

 

The tutor will be able to advise on art materials needed for the classes, please speak to her before buying materials.
