Extra title field
Covid 19 - In these challenging times, the safety of learners and staff is our highest priority. We have therefore introduced a range of measures to protect every member of the learning community. These include strict limits on class sizes to ensure social distancing can be maintained within classrooms. There are also additional procedures and limitations around the use of entrances and exits, corridors and other public areas.

How will the course benefit me?
This course provides a foundation in various media: pencil, charcoal, pastels, but particularly acrylics. Leaners who have attended our courses have progressed to degree courses, have acquired the skills and confidence to run small businesses, sell and exhibit their work or help with their current employment.
The course enables learners to explore their own artistic ability and gain confidence in valuable practical skills, whether new or renewed.

What will I learn?
This 10-week course covers a broad range of drawing and painting techniques. During the course you will be introduced to basic colour theory and the techniques needed to use a wide range of materials, such as pencil, charcoal and chalk pastels. We may also use watercolour and pen and ink. You will be encouraged to experiment with techniques in order to become confident in completing various projects. Learners should see this course as an opportunity to experiment with the techniques taught to produce original and personal pieces of work. Learners will be expected to follow the course programme and attend regularly to ensure progression.
