10-Week Art Course
Our 10-week course is designed for adults of all abilities. Learn to draw and paint in a supportive environment with expert tuition and art materials provided.
Who is it for?
The course is aimed at people who want to create their own art as a hobby, one of the most rewarding and beneficial pastimes there is.
If you’re a beginner you’ll learn the fundamentals of drawing and painting. You’ll be amazed at the progress you’ll make in just the first ten weeks.
If you’re already doing art as a hobby, you will learn new mediums and techniques and work on inspiring projects to help you grow as an artist.
What You'll Learn
Each term you’ll work with the following mediums
Pencils
Charcoal
Watercolour
Acrylics
Sometimes we explore other mediums such as soft pastels, gouache, ink, and other techniques.
There are nine new projects every term; one per week for the first eight weeks with a two-week project at the end of each term.
Each project is carefully designed to keep you learning and progressing with your art.
What's Included
Art Materials
We set out all the materials you’ll need for the session, including paints, brushes and specialist tools. Our class materials are provided for you to use in class, so you don’t need to bring your own.
Live Demonstrations
Watch your tutor demonstrate how to do each project, give tips and answer questions before you begin to draw and paint.
Printed Guides
For every project you will receive a prep sheet with general tips and also a step-by-step guide to help you complete the project. These are yours to keep to help remind you of what you have learned.
Personal One-to-One Tuition
As you work on your art you will receive personal tuition tailored to you and your goals.
Video
You gain access to a video of the live demonstration given by your own tutor so you can revisit it any time.

What you need to bring
Just pencils and paper.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm an absolute beginner, is this suitable for me?
Yes! Many of our students are complete beginners when they start and they are surprised how quickly they are able to create art they are proud of.
You will receive tuition and support tailored to your art experience and level.
Can I work at my own pace?
Absolutely. Our approach to teaching art is to remove all pressure and allow you to grow as an artist at a pace that suits you. Our sessions give you the time to work on your art without pressure and our handouts and video materials give you the opportunity to work on your pieces at home should you choose to.
What if I miss a class?
If you miss a class you still get access to the printed handouts and video demonstration by the tutor for that class.
The video you get access to is of the live demonstration by your own personal tutor, so it’s the next best thing to being there.
