Each three hour class includes around 30 minutes of art related items of interest, students' discoveries and a little art theory. The remaining time is allocated to painting.
This class has its own Facebook Group where students can add photos of their paintings, reference images, and generally keep in touch.

PRINTMAKING
Calling all printmakers!
Some experience is preferred, but beginners are welcome, with the understanding that some print-making processes may take a bit longer for a beginner. The cost includes the supply of beginning materials for proof prints and the use of specialised equipment. A materials list will be supplied as there will be some other materials required at an additional charge. This will all be discussed with participants via email prior to the course commencing. Suzi will then do a bulk order on your be-half saving a considerable amount on costs.
Note that there will be no class on Wednesday 12 November as there is an external booking for the classroom on that day.

It is often said that Leonardo drew so well because he knew about things; it is truer to say he knew about things because he drew so well. - Kenneth Clarke
This class is for beginners and more experienced artists alike. You will experience a series of exercises that teach you to look and understand a subject. You will learn to use a variety of materials, how to make exciting and interesting marks, and how to portray a three dimensional object on your paper. And you will discover how to make your drawing practice comfortable and fun. Subject matter will be predominantly still life, from botanical forms, domestic objects and cloth.
Bettina Digby is an artist with many years experience and holds a Diploma in Art and an Advanced Diploma in Colour and Design.
