Begin to draw + paint: 10-11 February 2018
Begin to draw + paint
It was fab teaching this course to a full studio of students, yet again. I just love the enthusiasm and willingness to learn that everyone brings with them when they attend this course to learn to Begin to draw + paint. As Michele, a student on the course said when asked what she enjoyed the most, ” Everything! Really enjoyed the course structure and the way we could experiment.”
The structure of the course means that day 1 is about the technical side of drawing which requires a lot of focus and concentration, while day 2 rewards students with a more relaxed day experiments with different materials. But what did the other students think about the course? Read further to find out more.
