Adults Art Class. Drawing After The Old Masters. 3 - Weeks Monday Evenings. February 2026
Tutor: Sam Gimson
A relaxed, friendly and encouraging atmosphere, suitable for all abilities, from beginners to experienced artists.
In this course, we will be looking at various paintings from The National Gallery. Although the pictures will be viewed in reproduction, this is a great opportunity to get to know the collection and to make pictorial responses to its many masterpieces.
Each lesson, students will be introduced to various artworks and given insights into their aesthetic qualities and the techniques used make them.
There will then be the opportunity to draw these pictures, to follow the thrust and the rhythms of the compositions. These drawings will not be laborious copies, but rather the challenge is to make creative and lively responses to the works which echo the emotional tone of the original.
All art materials are included in the price of the classes,
Tea, coffee and biscuits are also provided.
