Our popular 3 hour studio session course where you can respond to a set brief over 2 sessions, working with drawing, painting or a combination of your favourite media. Develop your creativity and take your art-making skills further…
The weekly art studio sessions allow you to explore your ideas and make fresh work in a fun and inspiring environment.
The Fine Art Room studio sessions centre around a set brief which takes place over two weeks – previous briefs have asked artists to respond to a still life arrangement, a specific theme, a particular way of working or your own interests and research.
Artists then work on their pieces over two sessions, creating drawings, paintings, collage or mixed media pieces. You can make a number of works or focus on a single piece over the two sessions.
The course also includes a research day where we visit a museum, gallery or site of interest for inspiration before responding in the studio.
Please note, due to venue restrictions, paintings can only be made using acrylic or watercolour.
Course level: all levels – however some drawing and painting experience essential. If you’re a beginner, please look at our Learn to draw or Learn to paint courses.
