Spring-board your Creativity - Introduction to Drawing: Thursday 17th April 7.00pm - 9.00pm
Spring is a perfect time to hone your fine-art skills, with the natural world re-emerging in all its beauty.
This taster class is a perfect opportunity to grow your drawing skills, under the expert and supportive tutorship of local artist, Susan Mitchell.
This class is ideally suited to people looking to develop their drawing and painting skills further in our upcoming 4-class series, but it also works well as a stand-alone class.
For the taster we will focus on drawing exercises with a variety of materials, culminating in a finished mixed media piece for you to take home.
If you decide to progress onto the full course, taken together these classes will provide an ideal opportunity to take a deeper dive into developing your drawing and painting skills.
