Summary

These courses provide an opportunity for you to explore painting and drawing activities in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The aim is to support learning and enjoyment and facilitate a basic understanding of painting and drawing using materials such as watercolours, acrylics, pencil, pastel etc. You will learn the skills necessary to develop confidence in your own individual way with the materials and at a pace to suit your needs. We may work with subject matter such as landscapes, still life, portraits, or abstract work and at times look at artist’s work to inspire and inform your own work.
