Painting & Drawing - Art Improvers
This course is designed for learners who are already painting and drawing and want to develop their skills further with the support of a friendly class and the guidance of a tutor.

During the course, your tutor will introduce you to different themes and ideas, and you will be guided and encouraged to explore a range of outcomes using different art materials.

We will work in both drawing and painting medias, which will include watercolour, acrylic, oil paint (optional), charcoal and pastel. Your tutor will lead you in practical exercises, demonstrating techniques and methods which you can practise and develop in your own work. Useful resources will be posted online too, for you to access at home.
