If you've always wanted to have a go at painting but didn't know how or where to begin then a Childwickbury Art Course is the perfect starting point. Choose from a day or a weekend as an introduction without the commitment of weeks of classes and then book more weekends if and when you want.
Courses are held in a Victorian stable block near St Albans, Hertfordshire and are open to all abilities including complete beginners. Our classes are relaxed and friendly and everyone is made to feel welcome and at ease. Three professional artists give tuition in composition and colour mixing enabling you to develop your technique and style in Oils and/or Watercolour.
Gift Vouchers are also available - please enquire at the contact details below.
Please note: The website doesn't always show if courses are fully booked as we do not want to deter people from enquiring. If courses are fully booked we can add your name to the waiting list but it may mean attending at short notice.
