What happens at your first class

Classes are twelve people at most, so the tutor gets round every easel more than once. Nobody is asked to show their work to the room, and nobody is expected to be good yet.

What to bring

  • Nothing for drawing and watercolour: paper, pencils, paints and brushes are provided
  • Clothes you do not mind getting paint or charcoal on
  • A sketchbook if you have one, to keep your notes and the week's studies
