Start date: Monday 8th April 2024 – this course will run for 6 lessons over 7 weeks (no lesson 6th May).

Price: £60

In this course we will use images of the birds we see around the UK as inspiration for drawings and paintings.  Each week we will focus on a different bird and use different media.  We will explore a range of materials and techniques and use a series of simple steps to build up a picture.  This course is designed for beginners and is ideal for anyone with a love of birds or who would like to improve their drawing/painting skills whilst experimenting with a variety of materials.

 All materials will be provided during the lessons.

This course is designed for beginners but would also be suitable for all abilities.

Online Course

Tuesdays

“Inspired” 5: Online Beginners Art Course – Via Zoom

6.30pm – 7.00pm (Ref: INS5)

Start date: Tuesday 9th April 2024 – this course will run for 5 lessons over 6 weeks (no lesson 7th May) 

Price: £25

In this course we will look at other works of art and use them as inspiration for our own artwork creations.  This may mean recreating all or part of a picture or simply using it as reference for our own ideas and interpretation. This course is designed for beginners but would be suitable for all abilities.

Materials

The course will explore a range of different media including watercolour, oil pastel, charcoal, etc.  Alternative media suggestions will be given for each lesson, so if you don’t have the specific materials used in the example, you will still be able to have a go at the tasks.  The bare minimum you will need for the course is a pencil and something to create colour.  A full list of materials used in the lessons will be included in the booking details.

Please note:  you do not need to have completed any of the previous “Inspired” courses in order to join this course.  All courses are stand alone courses.

I look forward to hearing from you.
