Explore a variety of art materials and mediums, discover different artists and styles, and experiment with techniques that help you develop and refine your own artistic approach. From exploring colour and texture to delving into composition and perspective, you’ll have the opportunity to broaden your skills, try new ideas and see your work from fresh perspectives. Yvonne encourages you to work at your own pace, explore your interests and experiment with new techniques, building confidence as you develop your own artistic style.
