Aims of the Classes
The aim of the Painting for Pleasure classes is to help both people who want to start to draw and paint and those who want to improve. The aim is also to have fun. This is achieved using a number of exciting projects, each of which take about a year to complete, and in which students learn how to use many different techniques and media. The projects use the techniques being taught and help each person develop and refine their own style. The results will be a folder of drawings and paintings that will use most of these techniques and media but will be unique to each student.
