Our schools run a range of Art, Painting and Drawing courses, with some providing specific classes for Watercolours, Oils, Pastels and/or Acrylics, while others offer classes where you can explore a variety of painting and sketching mediums.
In most cases, you work through a project or projects of your choice, with the tutor providing advice and guidance when and where required. Participants generally create a painting or two they are proud over the course of 8 to 10 weeks.
Participants come back year after year, building a strong bond with their fellow artists. In addition to developing your art skills, painting is a great form of mindfulness.
