About the classes
Join us for a relaxed and inspiring weekly adult art class led by Art Loft teacher Ziggy.
The classes are taught in a small group, allowing Ziggy to introduce each material and technique step by step while also offering individual guidance throughout the session.
Participants will explore and experiment with a range of mediums, developing their skills, confidence and creative approach over time.
Topics and techniques to be explored include:
-
Acrylic painting, colour theory and colour mixing
-
Watercolour washes, blending and building tone
-
Charcoal still life, light, shadow and reflection
-
Colour pencil layering, gradients and blending
-
Drawing, composition and visual observation
-
Mixed media and guided projects inspired by landscapes, animals, flowers and everyday objects
Some projects may be completed within one session, while others may continue over several classes. Participants can work at their own pace and build on their skills from week to week.
Who the class is for:
The classes are suitable for complete beginners as well as those with previous art experience.
Ages 18+
