Weekly Classes
My mixed ability classes are fun and busy, filled with focus, as well as chat, tea/coffee and biscuits! I generally offer a theme over a 6 week period (discussed with the group first), and we may do some drawing, followed by paintings in a variety of media.
This might be watercolour, acrylics, charcoal, pen and wash, mixed media (fancy term for more than one medium in the picture). We tend to stick to one medium as a group per subject, but some people may ‘go rogue’ and pursue their own choice of medium and subject which is no problem at all. Having taught 26 children, each doing something different, a class of 12 adult with a few variations in approach is marvellous! I will see each person individually several times during the session, as I constantly go round and give support and feedback as people paint.
I teach in Yatton and Congresbury in North Somerset . Please contact me for more information, regarding availability and/or to go on my waiting list. I currently have spaces in my Monday art group - Old School Rooms, Congresbury 10-12.1
‘I've had the pleasure of attending Dawn's art classes for 5 years now and have learnt so much from her about painting and drawing. I hadn't been taught art at all well in school but loved it nevertheless. Dawn has supported me to develop techniques that have shown it is possible to make progress even when things don't always come naturally - a hallmark of a good teacher. She creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and is always on hand to encourage and support. Her art class is definitely the highlight of my week.’
