Art class: Drawing and Painting from Nature - adult education class

Drawing and Painting from Nature uses nature as the starting point for making rewarding and expressive art. Not only does nature inspire us to make art, often we find ourselves feeling closer to nature through the act of making art.

On this course we will learn some of the technical and creative skills associated with different approaches to drawing and painting from natural objects, and discover some of the history behind this kind of art.

This is a practical course, so you will be trying your hand at drawing and painting from natural objects set up by your tutor, and you will be encouraged to experiment with a range of approaches, from accurate studies through to more individual and expressive forms of art.

This is an adult education course open to everyone. No previous experience is necessary.

The maximum group size for this course is 12 participants.

Reading material or special equipment needed (if any)

You will need to provide your own art materials. Details will be sent to you before the start of the course.
