Description

Introduction to Drawing and Painting

An exciting introductory drawing and painting week for beginners, intended to build your confidence in making art.

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.

The aim of the course is for you to leave feeling encouraged by the progress you have made and excited about exploring drawing and painting in the future.
