Are you keen to develop your art; your painting and drawing skills in a positive and friendly group setting? This course seeks to provide a space with like-minded people, expert tuition and a wide variety of art materials, all inclusive.

You can map out your own art adventure, creating a project guided by your interests, bringing your own ideas and images to work from and benefit from as much or as little tutorial assistance as you wish.

Alternatively, you can start with a thematic project devised by your tutor, that teaches skills, explores materials, introduces other artist’s work, stimulates thought and potential directions for you.

A wide range of painting and drawing materials are available. However, you may bring your own if you wish.

This mixed ability course would suit those with some art experience, keen to explore and experiment with their own ideas and/or with tutor-led activities.

Martin Kerrison

I am an artist and educator, having extensive experience as a senior school and adult education teacher. I teach drawing, painting, life and portraiture classes to all ages and abilities, exploring a wide range of materials and approaches. I believe art benefits all and everyone has creative potential.
My art practice focusses on figurative and magical realist painting and I have exhibited widely, most notably at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions in 2022, 2020 and 2015.
Graduating from Northumbria University with a degree in Fine Art, I took a PGCE at Oxford and an MA in History of Art at the University of London. I taught art for many years in the London area, working as a Teacher of Art and Art History, Adult Education Tutor and Head of Art and Photography, before relocating to Yorkshire in 2021.
When not at the easel or in the classroom, I can often be found enjoying countryside walks, historic buildings, singing in local groups or playing cricket.
