About Nicola

I'm a lifelong artist, with both formal school training and experience gained from years of experimentation with a wide range of media and methodology. Where it all started for me, however, was with the humble graphite pencil on paper. It’s the most accessible art tool of all, and the best one for starting out if you want to improve your drawing ability. My aim is to provide encouragement and reassurance that art-making is a skill that can be honed by anyone with determination and commitment.

In my class you can expect to learn the discipline of drawing what you see with greater accuracy. I teach in English, and in this beginner course we will use graphite pencil on paper.  A full course will run over the July - September period. I encourage students to book double lessons, to allow for enough time to complete their drawings (what remains unfinished will be added to your ‘homework’).

Please bring your own materials. Ahead of class, I will send a very basic materials list. If attending in person, I will provide things like backing boards, masking tape, cleaning supplies, easels, and reference material.

The class will be structured around first strengthening a particular skill or sub-skill in short exercises, which you will then have time to apply in a longer exercise. During that time, you can ask questions, chat, have quiet time or listen to calming music while you work on your drawing.

At the end of each class, we will reflect on your progress, and you will be given ‘homework’ to do. For those who purchase a set of lessons (5 or 10), your homework/ class will be built around a single project outcome (a finished artwork), that incorporates the lessons you have learned over the entire course.

Details

Our initial 30 minute ‘lesson’ will be a meet-and-greet online, where you tell me about your skill level, your ambitions and how much time you have to dedicate to pursuing your goals. From there we can devise the best kind of lesson plan for you. During that time, we can also briefly discuss what sort of subject matter interests you, and which artworks from history are your favourites.

Online classes are set at a slightly discounted rate to the in-person classes, for those who are on a tight budget, and because in-person I will provide some basic tools and facilities. If you purchase a course of 5 hours, you get 1 hour free. If purchasing 10 hours, you get 2 hours free!

When purchasing a single session, I would recommend purchasing a double slot if possible, so that the class structure isn’t rushed.

If you want to take a course but only have an hour to spare per class, I’d recommend purchasing the 5 hour package. I would say best to treat this as a crash course with a more high pressure environment as we will work under time constraints. Great as a focus on time-management.

If you want to take a course and have more time to allocate to classes, I’d highly recommend purchasing the 10 hour package and booking double slots - making art takes time, and this will give you more one-on-one time with me where you can ask questions and I can provide meaningful, tailored feedback. It also will ensure you complete your tasks without the need to rush or finish after class is over.
