Quay Drawing present a series of Art Classes at The Methodist Church.
Our new Methodist Church-classes are going to change a bit. We are running them in sessions at the usual times, but the focus will not be on themes. We will still have things to observe, draw and paint but we also want to develop your ideas and images. That may include working from your material or photographs developing your ideas in the direction you want. We will have some sessions later with a portrait model and printing materials.
All materials, refreshments and equipment are provided.
