Summer 2024 Beginners’ Drawing and Painting Evening Class with Kathy Barker
Whether you are a complete beginner or haven’t touched a paint brush or pencil for years then our five-week Beginners’ Evening Classes are just perfect for you. Kathy will start you off refreshing or learning the rudiments of measurement, line and tone through pencils and charcoal media during the first two introductory weeks.
You will then have colourful fun exploring the delights of acrylic painting. You’ll learn about the Colour Wheel and colour mixing – and if time allows a simple study with limited palette. Week four will include a life drawing session, working from the model, culminating in week five where we will expand the palette with a fun landscape painting session.
There will be tutor demonstrations each week at the beginning of the class and individual tutorials throughout the lessons.
Beginners’ Evening Class
The class will run weekly in the Art Studio on Monday evenings from 7pm to 9.30pm
Term starts on Monday 15th April and finishes on Monday 13th May

‘I enjoy watching someone new to art grow in confidence and ability, especially those of you that arrive so timidly and without any self-belief. My tenet is that anyone can be taught some basic exercises that will help transpose what you see onto a two-dimensional plane.
Practice is a huge key element but, more importantly, encouragement is one of the most important aspects to my teaching.
I want students to be inspired.’
Kathy Barker
‘One of the most enjoyable aspects is one to one teaching, understanding individual abilities and personal experience. Getting to know each student helps me to find ways to inspire, enabling room for each to develop techniques, personal approaches and, on occasion, maybe take a risk or two.
I believe teaching should encourage. Even if a student has found an exercise tough it will always lay deeper foundations upon which they can build their personal abilities for future.’
