Dates for Summer term Art Club are now sold out unfortunately. Join my mailing list to be among the first to find out about Autumn term dates.

Art Club is a fantastic way to gently develop some new skills through regular practice and tuition from me – Jenny Coats – an artist and qualified teacher. The club runs at Dungworth Village Hall from 7-9pm usually twice a month – on the first Wednesday and fourth Thursday. Each month stands alone with a different focus from still life to portraiture or landscapes. During the Summer term, we’ll be focusing on drawing using pencil and pen and watercolour painting techniques.

Booking is now open for the Summer term dates (May, June, July and August).

• Wednesday 6th or Thursday 21st May – Glass
• Wednesday 3rd or Thursday 25th June – Insects
• Wednesday 1st or Thursday 16th July – Fruit
• Thursday 27th August – Beaches and seascapes

(I am unable to run a Wednesday session in August due to my summer holidays.)

You’ll learn how to really look and see what you are trying to draw, breaking objects down into simple shapes considering how negative space can help you draw more accurately. You’ll also learn to manipulate watercolour paints to create a range of effects including washes and wet on wet techniques. There will also be chance to learn about proportion as well as how to sketch quickly using pencil, pen and paints.

But don’t worry if that all sounds very fancy and technical! Art Club is also a chance to draw and paint in a relaxed environment with warm company. Even if you’ve not picked up a pencil in years, you’ll soon see your skills and confidence grow.

Each session is £9 and includes tea and homemade cake. You can ‘pay as you go’ or book all 4 sessions for the reduced price of £32.

Or send me a message for more information.

I really look forward to hearing from you!
