Our highly experienced art tutor will take you through the basics covering a different style each week.

Week 1 – Introduction: The first week will provide an overview of the history of art looking at themes, materials and approaches. Practical aspects will start with sketching and drawing using pencil and charcoal.

Week 2 – Pastels: using pastels to develop composition and understand light, space, angle and perspective.

Week 3 – Mixed techniques: experimenting using pastels and watercolour to learn about shading, contrast and the development of light and dark colours and how to implement in a finished piece.

Week 4 – Watercolour: learning colour mixing skills and refining techniques through the use of brush size and texture to help with consistency of colour development.

The sessions will run from 9.45am until 1.45pm
