About the course
Each week, depending on the interests of the group, we will focus on a different artist and drawing/painting skill. We will use their drawings and paintings as inspiration for our own pieces. The aim is to enjoy the creative process, open your eyes to a wide range of art and enjoy being part of a group. You will be provided with step-by-step instructions and guided through each process. The course will help you to relax and develop your confidence and communication skills while you create and make decisions about colour and composition.
