Painting & Drawing - Art Improvers
This course is designed for learners who are already painting and drawing at home but want to improve their skills and techniques. Weekly sessions will combine; sharing and discussing your work, looking at the work of other artists, practical exercises to do at home, and tutor-led demonstrations. You can work in watercolour, acrylic or oils during the course depending on what you have at home.
Each class will combine art theory, discussion and practical work and will be supported by an online tutor-curated resource page, and a ‘Learner Gallery’ (where you can share your work), which you can access throughout the course.

Please ensure that you read the sections' What I need to bring' and 'Is there anything else I need to know?'.
