Service Description

All materials provided Dates: April 23rd to June 11th 2026 In this course, children will learn to observe, interpret, and bring to life urban landscapes using a wide variety of techniques. We’ll begin each term by focusing on drawing, learning how to build confidence in line, shape, and composition, before moving into painting in the second half of the course. Using a mix of dry materials such as pencil, charcoal, and oil pastel, and later exploring watercolour, students will experiment with colour blending, layering, and mark-making. Throughout the term, we’ll also look at a range of cityscape styles, from expressive Impressionist works to more modernist interpretations. The course is designed to encourage both careful observation and imaginative thinking, helping young artists to develop their own unique approach to urban storytelling. Abi is an artist specialising in bespoke house portraits and wedding venue paintings. Her work is about preserving special places in timeless detail. Originally from Edinburgh, she has studied at Duncan and Jordanstone, as well as Goldsmiths in London. Since graduating, she has worked in didgital marketing and communication, freelance arts journalism, social media and as a gallery assistant.
