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 classes 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. I've been running classes for 25 years now and you can read lots of testimonials from previous students by clicking here
After our successful return to running face to face classes at Stoke Bishop Village Hall in September 2021 we will be back in January with 2 new beginners drawing classes, 2 new beginners painting classes and 1 painting and drawing class. The beginners drawing class runs for 6 weeks and covers the fundamentals of proportion and shading as well as instruction in pencil, charcoal and ink. If you've never drawn before it will give you a completely different way of looking at the world. The beginners painting class includes instruction in acrylic, watercolour and pastel and will help you get started on your painting and mixed media projects. The painting and drawing class is a mixture of the two. All materials are included so there is nothing extra to buy but if you'd rather use your own materials let us know and we'll send you a materials list. For dates and times click here.
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!
