Confidence Growth

Over 12 weeks, you'll develop the skills and confidence to create across multiple subjects, including portraiture, animals, still life, and landscapes. Sessions run for three hours (2 ½ hours on a Thursday Evening) and are currently available on Thursday mornings, afternoons and evenings, plus Friday mornings and afternoons at our main venue in the delightful village of Wall, Lichfield.

No prior experience is needed – our talented tutors will explain each technique and help you apply it at your level in our friendly, relaxed classes.

 
What will I learn?

Throughout the course, you'll explore a variety of drawing and painting skills, discovering how to identify and use the elements of art: line, shape, value, form, texture, colour, and space. In the final week, you'll create a piece of your choice, drawing on all the skills you've acquired, with the guidance and support of our experienced tutors.
We introduce a fresh curriculum each term, and many students return again and again. However, if you'd prefer to try a single term first, that's absolutely fine. Each session includes group tuition, individual guidance, course notes, and all materials including paper and refreshments. For adults (over 18s) only.
Who is it for?

This 12-week course is ideal for anyone who wants to improve their drawing skills — from complete beginners to experienced artists looking to refresh and refine their practice. Over 12 weeks, you’ll build confidence across multiple subjects, including portraiture, animals, still life, and landscapes.
What's provided?

All drawing materials, paper, handouts and refreshments are included. Students also receive a starter pack to take home, which consists of a sketchbook, a folder to store the class handouts, a range of pencils and a putty rubber.
What to bring?

Just yourself and a willingness to experiment! Sketchbooks are provided

About your tutors

"I graduated from Falmouth School of Art with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting, and I've spent over 26 years in mental health education as a Thrive Practitioner. I've also taught art at GCSE, A level and within FE colleges, which has strengthened my belief in how powerfully creativity supports wellbeing and self-expression. My own work is inspired by music, colour and the natural world, exploring rhythm and atmosphere through both observation and intuitive mark-making. Creativity, for me, is a way of connecting with others, and that belief shapes my teaching - supportive, expressive and grounded in helping people find resilience and balance."

“Art has been my whole life — which probably explains the paint on my shoes and the sketchbook in my shopping bag. Teaching is my way of passing on the passion. I don’t expect perfection, just a willingness to try and an openness to learning when things go sideways. My sessions are practical, relaxed, and occasionally interrupted by the sound of someone discovering that acrylic paint does, in fact, get everywhere. If you’re curious, you’re ready!”
