LEARNING TO PAINT AND DRAW FUNDAMENTALS

BEGINNER PAINTING
​- ALL MATERIALS PROVIDED

If you are excited to learn how to paint, but have no idea how to start - or - if you have been trying to paint and you find your paintings look flat, and your colours seem all wrong - this is the course for you!

Absolute beginners, and beginners who have already started on their painting journey but feel stumped and frustrated, will benefit immensely from this four week course. Learning the fundamentals of painting is critical. Without understanding tonal values and how to correctly mix colours, beginner art students don't know why their paintings aren’t working and they can't create the colours they want. This course teaches you the key fundamentals so you can progress with your art on the right path. You will be working in acrylics and oils so you will be able to feel out both of these amazing mediums and see which one suits you best.
