Art Fundamentals is an 8-week beginner’s drawing and painting course designed to help you build a strong artistic foundation while gently nurturing your creativity. No experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and an open heart.
Weeks 1–3: Drawing with Graphite:
* Learn to create pleasing and balanced compositions
* Choose and develop a landscape scene to work with through the course
* Learn how to draw what you really see
* Learn how to create a sense of perspective in your drawing
* Master tonal shading to bring depth and feeling to your work
* Complete a tonal drawing of your chosen composition
Weeks 4–8: Acrylic Painting:
* Learn to mix colours with confidence
* Understand how warm and cool versions of colours bring life and depth to a composition
* Explore brush techniques to create different effects
* Complete your own unique painting of your chosen composition on a stretched canvas to hang on your wall
This course is more than just learning techniques—it’s about making space for you. You’ll build your confidence, discover your creative rhythm, and connect with others on a similar path of rediscovery.
After the course ends, you’re warmly invited to join my ongoing weekly group tutoring sessions (exclusively for alumni of this course) to keep that creative spark alive!
