Art for All - Drawing and Painting, Watercolour Beginners and Improvers

The course is for everyone regardless of ability or experience and will be tailored to suit individual's current levels. I especially welcome beginner artists and will support learners to achieve visual results beyond their expectations. Over the 10 weeks you will learn about drawing (and toning skills) following the grid method. Your tutor will explain and demonstrate how to implement the grid method in your approach to drawing and there will be practise exercises before you undertake a drawing of your choice, based on your own personal ability level and area of interest regarding genre. In the doing of this you will have learnt how to scale up a picture and enlarge from its original size. The grid method is a technique that has been used for centuries in art that involves dividing an image into a series of smaller, more manageable sections using a grid framework. Once your drawing is completed, you will be guided as to which tonal and mark making techniques complement your idea, introducing light and dark shading range to complete the piece of art. There is also an option to transfer your drawing onto canvas and develop your skills using water-based colour media. This is a supportive, enjoyable course designed to challenge any doubts you may have about your creative ability. You'll see tangible progress and results that prove artistic skill can be learned and developed — not just something you're "born with."
