Would you like to have some fun  learning how to paint and draw , live in the Bristol and Bath area but don't know where to start?  Why not come to Paint and Draw, the art class where you'll learn how to get the best out of pencils, watercolour, charcoal ink, acrylic and pastel.  You'll learn about proportion and shading too, all taught in a patient and sympathetic way because we all need some encouragement sometimes! It's relaxed but informative approach is particularly suited for beginners  so you don't have to worry about producing a masterpiece, you just need to be prepared to have a go.  The new term will be starting in April 2020 and the  cost is £70 for nine weeks in Bristol, £69 for 8 weeks in Bath (mornings) with all materials included so no expensive extra art materials to buy. You  can try all of these different techniques out without having to make any extra commitment

Is this course for me?  If you are like most people you were probably never taught any techniques when you were young; you  were  just given a pencil and told to "draw something", Because of
this you've probably assumed that art is one of those subjects that's impossible to learn,  "either you're good at it or you're not".  In fact there are lots of techniques that once learnt can finally allow you to put down what you can see on paper. (I was never taught much until I went to art college,
​ even though I could have  learnt a lot of it  when I was younger.)

Just as  people enjoy sport or learning a language painting and drawing is a rich and rewarding activity. It's not just about making something nice to put on the wall!  It's great  therapy if you need a bit of "me" time after work, It'll change the way you look at the world and it'll put a spirit of play and experimentation back into your life. It's a chance to make new friends and maybe you'll finally learn how to use that tin of water soluble pencils that your kids or partner bought you when you retired or for your birthday last year but you haven't got around to using yet! 
​Get  the help and advice you need and discover a rewarding new hobby in April 2020!
