Would you like to spend one evening a week just drawing or painting? Then the City Academy Art Club is a great way to develop your skills in a relaxed and creative atmosphere.

You can experiment with a range of different mediums from pencil to acrylic paints. Focus on one specific medium over several weeks, or try something new each session.

Our Art Club is aimed at those who have a done a little drawing already and want to refresh their technique. The studio is well equipped and experienced art tutors will be on hand to help with ideas and guidance on materials. Bring your objects to draw or choose items from our props cupboard to make your own still life set ups. There will be opportunities for life and portrait drawing.

Don’t worry if you miss a week, as you haven’t missed a vital part of the course. Art Club lets you explore and develop at your own pace.
