Do I need to have talent to learn to paint or draw?
Not at all. Creating wonderful paintings is a skill that can be learned. If you have the time and interest, you can learn to paint. Remember, even the most famous artists were beginners once!
Do I need to have previous art experience?
Artists of all levels from brand new beginners through to advanced will enjoy the art courses with Cheryl. If you are wondering if you are a good fit for any specific course, feel free to email Cheryl and ask.
Do I have to know how to draw before learning to paint?
Nope. Although there are definitely links between them, depending on your style, drawing and painting are separate skills. As a beginner, you can only absorb so many concepts at once. Frequently a student will take some painting lessons, and then decide later to pick up a drawing course with Cheryl.
What about style and paint type?
Cheryl encourages each student to find their own unique expression in art. No clones over here. Acrylic, watercolour, and oil are allowed in class – but please note: only watermixable oils are permitted – no turpentine allowed in class.
What supplies do I need?
Check the Art Supplies page for information about each paint type.
