Build your confidence in drawing and painting on this exciting introductory course for beginners.
You will be guided through the building blocks of both drawing and painting.
We will begin the week with drawing, exploring different techniques and using structured exercises to help you look more effectively. From this foundation we will move into using paint and colour, working with a range of subject matter including still life and the interior. You can choose to use acrylics or oils.
