In both beginners and improvers, the sessions we will follow the classic method for learning to draw and paint. It is easy to learn to draw by copying the example of a tutor leading the group, but this tends to produce a ‘house style’ where everyone ends up drawing in the same way. Your drawing style is as unique to you as your handwriting (if school hasn’t obliterated it) – here you will learn to enhance your own drawing style, not replace it with ours.

(Please note: all Improvers courses begin with drawing, and include a talk about relevant art movements and practitioners)

Price includes all materials and coffee and biscuits (donations taken to help with refreshments)

Thank you – we look forward to meeting you soon
