Begin to draw + paint – July 2018
I had a wonderful time this weekend in a studio full of students looking to take their first steps in learning how to draw and to find out about using different drawing and painting materials. Always a lovely course to teach, this weekend was no exception. The group got on really well together so a lovely relaxed social atmosphere dominated the weekend with lots of chatting and sharing of drawings. Gerry summed up the weekend as, “Relaxed, encouraging environment.” and David found the weekend, ” Relaxed and supportive but covered a great number of topics.” Read further to find out what the other students thought about their own experience.
