If you would like to take your first steps in art this is the course for you. An experienced art tutor will help you gain confidence and master the basic skills in a small and friendly group.
Suitable also for those who feel they lack confidence and want to get back to the basics.
What you need: All materials needed to get you started are included, however, if you do have your own materials, we encourage that you bring these to use in class. Please note that Ashcroft Arts Centre will no longer be supplying aprons to use in class.
Tutor: Julie Tucker
Julie is an artist and tutor living in Fareham, Hampshire. She has a background in community arts and has worked with all age groups on many projects. Her passion is Fine Art, particularly oil painting onto canvas and she simply adores the genre Impressionism!
She teaches various art classes at Ashcroft Arts Centre in Fareham (we started with one class and now have six full classes). Julie truly believes that art as a medium is incredibly therapeutic and should always be fun and relaxed - it is about empowering individuals to paint and be creative freely without judgement from others.
“To truly paint is to find oneself amidst the chaos of the world we live in” - Julie Tucker
Tickets: £120 / £108 concession
Sessions: Twelve-week term from Wednesday 14th September- Wednesday 7th December (no session 26th October), 11am - 1pm
