Every one can learn art!

Many people believe that to take up art you have to be born
with a natural talent...! Not true...
You can be taught the basics of art, and much more.... Yes, you can be taught drawing, art, painting.
In the same way you'd learn other things in life:
how to drive, ride a bike, bake a cake. All you need to learn art is to have nothing more than the desire to want to do it!

Drawing for everyone

Drawing for everyone is over 3 consecutive Sundays.
This class is designed for anyone wanting to draw and eventually paint. Or those who paint but feel that the drawing part lets them down. You will start with how to measure a subject and draw it in proportion, using the thumb-and-pencil method. You will also use charcoal to develop skills in applying tonal (shading) values. Also, how to use the 'grid system'. This is especially useful if drawing up a complex subject, or a portrait.
