Hi,
Are there any plans for the Art + Creativity courses to also have evenings schedules? I’m an absolute beginner, work 9 to 5 and so can’t do Monday mornings.
Kind regards,
Dunni

Hi Dunni
Thanks for getting in touch. This course is only on Monday mornings, but I would recommend the weekend Begin to draw + paint course designed especially for absolute beginners, or the Thursday evening Art Elements course suitable for beginners. I hope this helps, but email me directly if you have any further questions. Regards, Brian

Hi Rupali
Our courses run over a weekend (sat + Sun) or over 6 Thursday evenings. We offer lots of different classes including acrylic painting, but we don’t offer oil painting or specialist portrait classes. However there is a portrait project during the weekend acrylic level 2 course.
I hope this helps. Feel free to email me directly if you have any further questions. Kind regards
Brian
