What better way to express our love of animals, than to bring them to life in charcoal at Arley Studios, based in the rolling hills of the Worcestershire countryside, right next to the River Severn. During the course you will have the opportunity to work on a piece of your choice, whether it be a beloved family pet, or another favourite subject such as a highland cow, stag or lion perhaps.
I love the power and immediacy of charcoal,and on this course you will get to explore the versatility of this exciting medium. All of the materials needed on the course will be provided and will be of professional standard to ensure that you create your best work.
The course is suitable for both beginners and improvers alike and is delivered in a warm, friendly atmosphere and at a steady pace. These courses have always proved very popular and often sell out, so book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.
