01. Who is this course for?
This course will support beginners as they improve in a variety of painting and drawing techniques. You will be able to develop skills and gain knowledge and the confidence needed to create your own work. You will get lots of support and encouragement along with the opportunity to explore and experiment with a variety of wet and dry media such as watercolour and acrylic paints, graphite, charcoal, ink and pastels.

02. What will I learn?
You will continue to learn about different painting and drawing techniques. You will develop skills in observing what is around you in order to create. You will draw and paint from a variety of subject and inspirations – such as photographs, life, other art, and your imagination. The aim of the course is to build up skills, knowledge and confidence.

03. How will I learn?
This is a tutor-led, art class. There will be opportunities to follow guided examples and see demonstrations, and also to follow your own ideas and to gain confidence being creative. You will also have the opportunity to talk to other members of the class about your work and to share ideas. Please avoid taking holidays during courses. Missed lessons can affect funding for adult learning courses.

04. What will I need to bring?
Please bring any drawing pencils, an eraser, paints, brushes, and a sketch pad or other paper that you already have. There is no need to get lots of materials before the first session. Tools and materials we will use in the course will be introduced as we go along and you will be given a plan for the term so you will know exactly what you will need each week.
