Class Overview
Enjoy a new art project every class designed to keep you inspired, surprised, and building greater creative confidence every class you attend. You will have the opportunity to work with a variety of drawing, painting and mixed media materials such as charcoal, graphite, soft pastels, drawing and Indian inks, soft pastels, acrylic paint, watercolour paints and many other materials and techniques.
There is opportunity to explore different styles such as realistic, semi-abstract or abstract, depending on personal preferences.
We all work at a different pace and you may take as long as you wish on a project: complete it during the class, continue at home, or continue over multiple art classes. Either way, every class will offer fresh new ideas and lots of 1:1 support – flexibility is key!
Student review
“As a complete novice to art I felt comfortable exploring drawing skills using different materials. I was able to ask questions without feeling stupid and with a small group we encouraged and supported one another along the way.”

“The classes are interesting as well as fun. Brian has been informative and helped me find my creative side which has been lost for many years. I thoroughly enjoy them. The classes have opened up new ideas and encouraged different ways for me to be creative. The best bits have been finishing a piece of work and feeling I have accomplished something new.” Laura M
