Drawing and Painting for Your Well Being

You will explore drawing and painting a range of subjects - such as landscapes and figures. Initially you will be working tonally, exploring how to draw proportions accurately, and experimenting with composition. Building on these skills, you will further develop your use of other media e.g. watercolour, oil, acrylics or pastels. "
