Join me for this 6 week drawing and painting course, enjoying the beginnings of a New Year!

This term we are celebrating moving from Winter into a New Year with the common thread of nature as our inspiration running throughout. The colourful and imaginative course is designed for all levels, from beginners who need extra help and guidance, to enthusiasts who want a space to explore their skills.

Classes are taught in a relaxed and friendly way and the small class sizes mean everyone can be given one to one advice and help through out.

At the start of each week I will demonstrate the steps and technique to guide you through the weeks chosen theme. As well as continuing with Watercolours we will dive into fluid and flowing inks, gouache and creative mixed media.

Each lesson is sociable and rewarding giving you a chance to try out new techniques and further develop familiar ones.

All materials are provided along with hot drinks and sweet treats!

Week 1: Finding inspiration in the everyday..

A good drawing is the framework for everything I paint. This week we will try various drawing exercises taking the beauty from everyday items as inspiration. Drawing with unfamiliar materials and looking closely at the textures and forms of old paint tubes, shells, vintage pots etc.

Week 2: Midnight Woodland…

Creating a midnight woodland with lush foliage and hidden animals, using black and white only- inks biro and fine liners.

Week 3: Watercolour Birds…

British birds painted in watercolours, techniques in painting textures of feathers, shiny beaks and sparkling eyes!

Week 4: Moody Winter Florals…

Winter Florals on dark moody grounds. Working with gouache snd watercolour..

Week 5: Chinese New Year…

Inspired by traditional Chinese ink and brush paintings. Using layered black ink and gold highlights.
