At Pencil to Paint, the children learn to draw with increasing accuracy and confidence, and then translate those drawings into paintings.

​

The children become familiar with the practical handling of oil, watercolour, acrylic and pastel.  Alongside this, we develop core technical skills: tonal value, colour mixing, perspective, composition and mark making. These are taught in context, through sustained projects, so that skills build logically from week to week.

​

The children are also introduced to the work of a range of artists, both historic and contemporary.​​​
