Learn to create compelling works of art with pastels and charcoal in our dedicated drawing classes for adults. This section of the course introduces you to the fundamentals of drawing using two versatile mediums, soft pastels and charcoal.

You’ll practice blending for smooth colour gradients in pastel, layering strokes to build depth, and mastering shading techniques with charcoal to achieve realistic light and shadow. Key art fundamentals such as composition and colour theory are also covered, ensuring that each sketch or portrait is well-balanced and visually appealing.

Whether sketching a still life or a portrait, our instructors guide you in observing proportions and values for realistic drawing results. For instance, you might start with charcoal exercises on newsprint to train your eye in tonal values, then move to soft pastel to understand colour layering.

By exploring pastel and charcoal, you’ll develop confident sketching skills and learn to effectively capture form and texture, an excellent foundation for any aspiring artist.

Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or already have some experience, our oil and acrylic painting classes for adults will elevate your skills to the next level.

Under the guidance of experienced instructors, students learn core painting fundamentals – from proper colour mixing and brushwork techniques to understanding composition and perspective in a painting. As you progress, you’ll explore advanced methods oil painting classes are known for, such as glazing (building rich transparent layers in oil), alla prima and impasto (thick, textured paint application) for expressive effects, and more. In our acrylic painting lessons, you’ll also pick up techniques tailored to fast-drying acrylics, like blending on canvas and using mediums to extend drying time.

By practicing in both oil painting and acrylic painting, adults get to compare these mediums – for instance, learning the patience of layering oils versus the quick versatility of acrylics. This comprehensive approach ensures you gain confidence in whichever medium you prefer, be it achieving classical realism in oil or bold, vibrant results in acrylic.
