Art classes

Unleash your creativity

Art classes ~ Professional tuition in painting & drawing

Sessions are held every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, (See the schedule lower down the page). They are designed for all ages and all skill levels ~ from complete novice to experienced artists ~ for those who have never painted before ~ and for those who want to reinforce their basic skills in different media.

The aim of these sessions is to nurture self-confidence and enjoyment of painting in a stimulating, fun and relaxing environment, with plenty of guidance from the artist.

This includes instruction in the use of traditional materials, guidance in selecting subject matter, line, tone, colour, proportion, scale and composition and techniques.

Class content

During the sessions, you will be working principally with oils, acrylic, drawing and mix media. Works will be inspired from life, instinct, memory, imagination or from photographs.

You will be challenged to see colour, shape and tone, and to relate these elements together in the media of your choice.

You may also be encouraged to switch between abstract and figurative in order to gain a deeper skill in representing images.

Source material for painting should be selected from magazine images or your own photographs. In this way you develop your own archive of images that identify your preferences when you come to develop a painting, or a drawing.


Topics covered

Along with your sessions you will complete some paintings, but the emphasis will be primarily on exploring technique through the topics below:

  • Lay out a basic palette
  • Working with a limited tonal palette
  • Handling paint
  • Glazing and paint mediums
