classes
Observational Drawing Monday 9:30am-12.00pm.
A welcoming and supportive class for anyone who wants to draw.
Each week we’ll take inspiration from a different artist and consider their approach and use of media through discussion and practical exploration. You will be encouraged to work in a way that allows you to develop your own visual language and confidence with drawing.
This class is suitable for those just beginning to draw, as well as those looking to extend their skill set and understanding.

The well established Monday evening course continues. Aimed more at students with some knowledge of art practices who would like to learn or improve watercolour painting methods.
This successful course covers a number of projects each term, which encourage participants to approach a wide range of subjects and techniques in watercolour. There is also a strong emphasis on drawing and observational development.
Includes demonstrations, lots of technical information, hints and tips and one on one help. The tutor brings his own work and versions of each topic to illustrate and encourage ways of approaching each project.
Suitable for beginners and those wishing to develop their skills. Sign up for a term. Places are limited. Acrylic and gouache welcome too. If you can’t commit to a whole term we may be able to do part term or occasional single lessons.

We will be exploring imaginative and experimental ways to draw and paint from landscape, still life and the imagination.
You will be encouraged to find your own personal language through the medium of paint, with reference to various contemporary artists. We often start off the term with timed, warm up, drawing exercises, using both the left and the
right hand, to keep things fresh. New students wanting to join the group will be invited in to visit us. Beginners don’t have to buy materials until they are sure they want to continue, as the tutor always has paints, charcoal etc for students to borrow. Paper is available for sale at the art centre. The group is made up of figurative and abstract artists. We refer to other contemporary artists for inspiration, depending on what’s showing in the local and national collections. This can often
prompt an interesting discussion amongst the group as nobody has to agree with the tutor!
This is a mixed ability art group. Beginners welcome.
