Learning to draw and paint is all about enjoying yourself and expressing your own individual creativity. Painting is also a wonderful and therapeutic way to relax and de-stress from the pressures and fast pace of modern living.

BRUSHSTROKES MISSION STATEMENT:

"To provide quality, professional and enjoyable art tuition to anybody wishing to learn how to draw & paint in a relaxed and fun environment."

BRUSHSTROKES PHILOSOPHY:

At Brushstrokes we believe that anyone can learn to draw and paint. We all have creativity and with this you can learn the basic skills. From there it is a matter of how much time and dedication you apply to your learning. Not everyone will be, or wants to be a great painter but you can develop your skills to a level that you can enjoy, and feel achievement. We will teach you how to see, and realise that everything is made up of a combination of shapes, shadows and tones with proportion, perspective, positive & negative spaces and that using these you can learn to understand correctly what you are looking at.
