Which Course To Take in 2023/24
Taking a foundation day is always going to be beneficial in understanding everything from sharpening a pastel pencil with a scalpel to perfecting techniques and getting your colour management right. It is preferable but not vital to any of the courses you wish to attend. If you have taken a class before, you will soon pick up the new methods we use.
All classes are suitable for beginners or advanced students alike.
All classes are suitable for beginners or advanced students alike.
All of these art classes and courses are designed with colour management, pastel application and fine detail in mind. The adult classes are 10am-5pm. Children's class times are specified otherwise or via a link. Please choose your portrait subject and follow the link to book or you can call direct on 01621 819272.
There are just a few classes remaining on here but please do call me to chat about putting new dates in for any of the subjects you see.
