I've been going to the Wednesday drop in's for 18 months now and have just completed Art + Creativity: Drawing Skills course. Excellent and I have enrolled to do part two of that course which is Material Techniques next term. Can't recommend highly enough.

The 2 day weekend course was challenging but nonetheless very enjoyable. He has a relaxed and amenable style whilst at the same time attentively looking after his students to ensure they get the most out of the course. There was a particular part of the course, drawing measuring techniques, which I felt I needed a little more help with. Brian very kindly invited me back to his studio in his own time to go through it again with me. Thanks Brian! Will see you soon!

I am a complete beginner who has never had any formal art education and having done the course I now feel confident to explore drawing and sketching further. Day one was based on the fundamental principles of drawing - learning techniques and tips for creating accurate sketches. Then day two let us explore lots of different media to use in our paintings from charcoal and pastels to acrylic and watercolour paint. I really enjoyed the supportive and collaborative approach in the sessions which were also good fun. Brian is very patient and had a great way of explaining all the concepts. I’d definitely recommend this course.

It's 50 years since I had an art lesson, and Bryan's beginner weekend was just what I needed to give me the confidence to pick up a pencil and paint brush and just have a go. Really enjoyable, learnt some basic techniques and had fun. Thank you.

Loved the variety of excercises we covered. Brian is always there for questions, support and constructive feedback to develop techniques whilst allowing your individual creativity to flourish. Great way to explore your creativity!

Hi
My wife and I are looking for learning and attending drawing classes. We are both employed full-time and prefer an evening class on a weekday. Would there be something appropriate for this? Thanks
