When you join, you will be taught from the very basics as most people who join have not done art since school.

If you have previous experience, then you can slot in with the more advanced members to suit your own level.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I HAVE NEVER DONE ART, OR SINCE LEAVING SCHOOL

Doesn't matter. You will learn art the same way as most things in life, such as driving a car, a sport or cooking. Simply by doing it. Many would-be artists are put off by the myth that you have to be born with a natural talent for doing art. Not true!

BUT I CAN'T DRAW!

That's why you need to join an art class. My art classes are structured to teach you from the very basics, starting with the drawing process. You will be taught how to measure correctly to achieve accurate proportion when drawing. This is the first problem people encounter when trying at home, or at a class which offers no tuition.

HOW MUCH IS THE WEEKLY COURSE?

You enrol for 10 consecutive weeks. At the end of the 10 consecutive weeks, you can enrol for further weeks and we go through the year, with a break through August, commencing again in September. The current cost of 10 weeks is £100, payable at the first class.

CAN I COME TO A CLASS, TO FIND OUT MORE?

Yes, I strongly suggest you come to any of the classes to find out more, talk to current members and get a feel for the class. Enjoy a cup of tea or coffee with us. Remember, virtually all the members started as absolute beginners.

IF I JOIN, THEN FIND I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE, CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK?

No. As you can appreciate I take new members on a 'first come first served' basis. By keeping a place for you, means I cannot fill your place if you leave.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS A WEEK? CAN IT BE ADDED ON THE END OF THE 10 WEEKS?

No, I cannot tack any missing weeks onto the end of the 10 weeks. But, I am always flexible, so what I offer is the following: any missing weeks you can make up by either coming to another weekly class, held at a different venue (so you might do two classes per week to make up your missing weeks). If attending the Lydiate Friday group, because there are two classes on the same day, you can come for the full day. Or, you can make up any missing weeks on the all day Saturday class, held once a month.

Art class. When the weather allows, especially in the summer months, we work outside, direct from the subject, as much as possible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I would look silly trying to do art!

Nonsense! By finding out about art classes means you want to do it and that's all you need to have, the desire to want to do it, when joining my art class. The class is structured to teach you from the very basics. We start with the drawing process and progress from there.

THE COURSE IS ON GOING THROUGH THE YEAR, SO THAT YOU KEEP LEARNING. YOU CANNOT LEARN EVERYTHING IN A FEW MONTHS.

 

Feel free to visit any of the classes to find out more. You will be made very welcome, and you can chat to members.
