CONTINUING TO STUDY IN EAST COAST ART STUDIOS
When you complete this initial workshop we would advise clients to do another course and hone in on the areas that started to interest you. Clients can also book the EVENING CLASSES or the DAYTIME CLASSES on Wednesdays & Saturdays. In these sessions, you can develop your practice throughout the year and focus on whatever subjects and techniques are of interest to you, either in contemporary or classical painting and drawing. We also recommend you do the drawing course as drawing underpins all painting.
