How will you work on your art this Autumn?

The path you take will be up to you but we always reckon that everything is easier if your drawing is up to snuff, so if in doubt start with drawing, either on our Tuesday Skills course or Thursday evening Introduction to Life Drawing.

If you want to grow your painting skills, Clare Haward, Alex Tzavaras and David Sawyer are all highly regarded experts, you’ll learn many of the same concepts with each of them but in their own language and using their approach. Use your instinct to decide, but first look here.
