New to painting?

Painting and drawing classes run from relaxed one-night sessions that guide you to a finished canvas to multi-week courses in watercolour, oils, figure drawing or illustration.

Guided one-night classes suit groups and first-timers; courses suit people who want to improve.
Figure-drawing sessions use a live model and are usually for adults only.
Materials are usually included in one-off classes; courses often send a supply list.

Taking it home: The same day, though acrylic and oil may need a few hours to dry before they travel well.
