About this course

Art Next Steps is an introduction to different ways of creating drawn and painted images. Some experience of drawing and painting is useful, but not essential. We will be exploring line, tone and colour through a range of different drawing and painting techniques, focusing on producing images from observation.

You will learn about different drawing techniques and how to use, line, tone and colour creatively through looking at and discussing other artists work and by demonstrations, personal experimentation and individual tuition.

By the end of the course everyone will have explored and gained confidence with some essential drawing and painting techniques, produced finished images and gained skills for future art and design work.
