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.

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.

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.

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.

Such a warm welcome from the lovely team helps you to settle in. Step by step instruction is great each week, you never have to feel out of your depth and there’s always help offered when you need it. I’ve learnt so much since I started at the beginning of the year- still a lot more to learn!

Having always been terrified and with no confidence in my doing any art I plucked up courage and have now just finished my first term. These classes are so well organised and the teaching is fantastic. Good clear demonstrations, lots of encouragement, equipment provided and a really warm atmosphere. Thank you Carrie and team for a brilliant first term and for anyone looking for an art course I totally recommend this one!

I have wanted to attend an art class for years and I'm so glad I signed up for Creative Art Farnham. I have learnt so much in just one term and I now feel confident to try different mediums myself. The tutors are excellent and great fun. Everything is provided including step by step instructions and a video of the lesson as well as fun, lots of laughs and biscuits.

Really well run course, well taught well organised and extremely friendly. Full of encouragement and detailed teaching. I have really learnt a lot, and it’s been good to go back to basics and have guided teaching- and it’s great fun!

Inspiring, creative, art lessons which are structured to provide a demonstration of various art mediums allowing the student to gain knowledge whilst in a calming space and to explore their individual styles by drawing or painting a different subject matter over ten weeks.
I have absolutely loved each lesson. It has allowed me the time to let go and dedicate three hours to one of my loves, art exploration. The only criticism, is the time goes far too quick!
