Yes, in this class you really can … and your tutor, Cathy Burnett will give you the confidence to do so.

Come and give yourself a couple of hours off and immerse yourself in drawing, using a choice of materials, and we’ll put the kettle on.

This class is a natural progression for those who have attended Minnie’s ‘Drawing for the Terrified’ and is also perfect for total beginners, as Cathy will help each of you individually.

Please note: this class was originally titled Improving your Sketching, Drawing and Painting Skills. If you’ve attended one of Cathy’s classes before, then expect more of the same.

At Yardley Arts, we offer the space to create in a wonderfully light and relaxed environment, as well as cheerful encouragement.

You will have a choice of a table or an easel (upright or table) to work from – or the floor if you prefer!
