The Drawing and Painting Course: ONLINE

Class format and activities

This is a practical online course, and you will spend most of class time drawing and painting at home. Your tutor will send you a lesson plan by email every week, allowing you to prepare materials and subject-matter in advance. The class uses Microsoft Teams for group discussions and for short lectures on artists’ work, and you will be able to view demonstrations of techniques and materials. Your tutor will offer feedback on any images of your work that you share.
