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 1:

(Classes confirmed once minimum number reached :-)

 

~ 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 :-)

 

Classes:
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:
Wednesdays 1-3.30 pm​

​

​

~ 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.

Each week we expand our arty knowledge with a Sneak Peek at an 'ism', a technique, an Artist...(etc)
