Join us on either Thurs 28th or Fri 29th March with a choice of time slots for an acrylic session painting these colourful, flamboyant carnival masks.

With plenty of support from our talented tutors, this is perfect for beginners and more experienced artists alike.

To celebrate the end of our Spring term, we are holding a paint and prosecco evening at our usual venue, Wall Village Hall, Lichfield. Come and join us and enjoy a complementary glass of bubbly as we paint a charming ostrich portrait. Feel free to bring any additional drinks, alcoholic or otherwise. Complementary tea and coffee will also be available.
In this three-hour session we will explore the delicate art of botanical study using pen. You will start by sketching your chosen plant in pencil, focusing on accurate proportions and detail. Once the initial sketch is in place, we will help you to refine your study with pen, using controlled strokes to capture intricate textures and depth.
This session is about capturing the intricate beauty of woodland mushrooms. You will begin by sketching your composition in pencil, using simple shapes to outline the delicate forms of your chosen fungi. Once your drawing is complete, we will guide you in adding darker tones using ink washes, going on to add texture and detail with fine-liners. Through careful linework and mark-making techniques, you will bring depth and character to your study, highlighting the unique patterns and structures of these fascinating natural forms.
Have you ever painted or drawn a beautiful picture but not been happy with the clouds in your sky? We will look at different cloud formations and observe their features so that we can more accurately draw and paint them. We will then experiment with a variety of media, such as watercolours, pastels and charcoal, to bring softness, depth and movement to your cloud studies.
