Join award-winning artist and qualified visual art teacher Marianne Mettes for a fun and relaxing evening exploring composition, colour and creativity.
In this six-week hands-on course, you'll explore basic art theory, sketching and composition, painting, mixed-media and more! You'll explore different techniques and activities to unleash your inner artist and work progressively towards a final masterpiece. Last term we created unique still life paintings, this term we'll be exploring more themes and styles, including landscape and portraiture.
The classes have a focus on relaxation, social engagement and enjoyment - easing you into every step in a safe and supportive way. While you will be making art-pieces you'll be proud of, breaks will be encouraged to step away from perfectionism and enjoy a cuppa with friends.
Whether you're an absolute beginner or a budding artist looking to try something new, this workshop is designed to be fun, social and inspiring.
