All Abilities Courses

10 sessions, once a week, with start dates throughout the year

No matter how much previous experience you have, if you want to receive expert tuition and guidance in drawing and painting - this is the course for you! The lessons are taught by our team of experienced and supportive tutors, who teach you the skills and techniques you need in order to become a more confident artist, whether you’ve not picked up a paintbrush since school or already have some experience.  It's a fun and friendly environment in which to learn, and many of our students come back term after term to continue learning and enjoying each other's company.

We cover a range of subject matter over the 10 sessions, including still life, portraiture, animals and landscapes. The final session of each term allows you to go ‘freestyle’ and create an artwork of your choice, perhaps a mixed media piece or a style you’ve never tried before.  There is a new curriculum every term so there's always something fresh and interesting to learn if you decide to stay with us long-term.  However, you only need to sign up for one course and take it from there. 

The course fees are £375, which includes 10 x 3-hour sessions of group and individual tuition, all materials including paper, refreshments, and printed course notes.
