CHARCOAL DRAWING Fine Art Classes Brisbane

Saturdays OR Sundays  
12 - 2pm  OR  2 - 4pm  

In ART101's Brisbane studio, the main focus is on portraiture and still life, as you train your eye to see light and shade. Drawing is the starting point to develop your eye to really see like an artist in preparation for painting.

This tried and true method yields consistently successful results for all new students, regardless of experience. All of the images you see on this page have been completed by newbies in the studio over the years. 

In our mixed discipline studio you will be exposed to other mediums that you may want to try as you develop your skills.  Small class sizes include students at different stages along the learning timeline but each student is generally taught as an individual which ensures you progress at your own pace. 



MATERIALS

As students' progress is accelerated with at home practice, you will need your own materials for use in the studio and at home. The list is available here and links directly to Amazon. Be sure to order at least 2-3 weeks in advance of your start date so as to ensure timely delivery. 

Please be aware that most art stores do not stock some products on the materials list and all too often recommend inappropriate substitutes that may need to be returned. 

TERM FEES

Our weekly art class studio sessions run in a term block of 9 weeks during Queensland state school terms.

The term fee is $500. 

Full payment is required to secure your booking - payment options will be provided when you contact us to book in. It will take at least one full term for beginners to become proficient in this method. Good things take time. 

Unfortunately we do not offer trial classes or casual sessions, however we do hold 1 day art workshops from time to time.
