About the course:
If you’ve ever wanted to learn to draw and paint with confidence but weren’t sure how, this course will take you step by step, through simple line drawing and beyond to painting with confidence using a variety of techniques and styles. In drawing you will use far more than a pencil, and in painting you will use a variety of media and discover how to mix any colour with confidence and apply paint in different ways. You will be inspired by traditional and contemporary artists and find a style of your own. The course is relaxed and fun and a must for beginners.How will the course be delivered?
The course will be delivered face to face in a small group setting, with a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
