Claire Blyth offers 4-week blocks of art classes in Peebles.

Claire’s 4-week class blocks are structured around assignments based on researching and studying a chosen artist and using their work to fuel your own. You’ll be emailed with the details of your artist in advance and given advice on how you might incorporate their work into your own during the session.

Drawing tips for beginners

To get started while working from a photo, consider turning the image upside down.  This will help avoid any preconceptions you have about shapes. When you turn it the right way around, you’ll be surprised to see how well you did!

Studying the work of other artists is one of the best ways to explore your own style, discovering what you do and don’t like and what works for you creatively.
