My Studio & the home of  

'Discoveries' Art School:

Diana's Happiness GUARANTEE:

​

Because I cannot bear the thought of anyone being tied into 10 weeks of classes they are not enjoying...

If, after your first class you decide you totally hate Discoveries - or me (sniff),

​

I will TOTALLY REFUND your term's fees.

Lesson times Term 3:

​

Because spaces only become available after current students get sick of me and leave, there are typically very few new spaces available each term. Nice for me but hard for new students. 

Best to contact me directly if keen.

 

~ First Steps - 101 ~

Structured lessons designed to introduce students to a mix of drawing, shading, colour mixing & brush techniques. 

This programme is designed around one simple question - "What was I wanting (& needing) in Art Lessons when I first started out on my Arty journey?

I feel a wee bit like a magician's cheat ‘unmystifing’ for students  just how 'learnable' many art techniques are but hey,  

I can live with that :-)

 

Class:​

Sorry - no 101 this term 😢

​

~ First Steps - 102 ~

Building upon what we learned in Term 1, this term builds on our understanding of composition and introduces a number of 'subjects' including still life, landscapes to furry friend painting.  

 

Classes:

​

~ Different Strokes ~

Working on your own material with individualised support to encourage & motivate you as you explore, play, experiment & create your unique works of Art.
