Still Life (drawing) for beginners
2024-09-17 09:30 - 11:30, 2024-09-24 09:30 - 11:30, 2024-10-01 09:30 - 11:30, 2024-10-08 09:30 - 11:30, 2024-10-15 09:30 - 11:30 | The Cause Music and Arts Centre, 42 The Causeway, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3DD, United Kingdom
‘Every course a revelation’
Uniquely designed and delivered 6 x 6 week courses for beginners. Taught by local artist and designer Charlie who has over 25 years experience teaching art. Tuesdays at 9.30am – 11.30am
Term 1 – Still life (drawing) – Sept 17th – October 22nd
In these 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 mine.
Please note: all courses begin with drawing, and include a talk about relevant art movements and practitioners.
The £99 price includes all materials and coffee and biscuits (donations taken to help with refreshments)
Your place will be confirmed on receipt of payment and the booking via the website.
Thank you – we look forward to meeting you soon
