Develop your Drawing & Painting Skills: Thursdays in May (1,8,15,22), 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 workshop series is ideally suited to people looking to develop their drawing and painting skills further, learning a host of drawing, painting and mixed media techniques over the four week series, and taking away a number of beautiful art-works in the process.
Taken together these classes will provide an ideal opportunity to take a deeper dive into developing your drawing and painting skills, in a friendly and supportive small-group environment.
