Art Studio
Drawing & Painting
Ages 6–14
A structured, hands-on path through drawing and painting. Children start with simple shapes and build up, step by step, to watercolours, acrylics, landscapes and portraits of their own.
From first lines to finished paintings
Eight areas of learning, each building on the one before.
-
Basic Shapes & Sketching
Every drawing starts with simple shapes. Children learn to spot them in everything around them and sketch with confidence.
-
Pencil Shading Techniques
Light, shadow and texture with just a pencil — hatching, blending and making flat drawings look solid.
-
Colour Theory & Blending
How colours mix, which ones work together, and how to blend smoothly from one to the next.
-
Watercolour Painting
Washes, layers and soft edges — learning to let the water do some of the work.
-
Acrylic Painting
Bold colour on canvas, with brushwork that builds texture and depth.
-
Landscape Drawing
Skies, trees, hills and water — composing a scene with a foreground, a middle and a far distance.
-
Portrait Drawing
Faces and expressions, using the proportions that make a portrait look like a real person.
-
Creative Art Projects
Putting it all together in projects where each young artist brings their own ideas.

More than a pretty picture
Art is a skill, and skills grow with practice. Along the way, young artists work on:
- Looking closely
- Drawing trains the eye to notice shape, light and detail.
- Steady hands
- Pencil control and brushwork improve with every session.
- A feel for colour
- Mixing, matching and choosing colours on purpose.
- Ideas of their own
- Projects leave room for each child’s imagination.
