What you will achieve on completing the course

You will achieve a good understanding of forms by first learning to draw various geometric shapes and single objects.  Then you will proceed to painting, and will be taught colour mixing techniques, colour values and how brush strokes can be applied for various textures. In our Beginner Classes, you will be introduced to basic drawing/painting materials such as graphite, charcoal, pastel, oil pastel, oil paints, watercolour and acrylic.

The step-by-step nature of our Beginner Classes allows students to easily acquire and improve their basic drawing and painting techniques. At the end of the course, students will have a good grasp of forms, the ability to use basic materials and a motivation to develop their new skills.
