Art Courses Birmingham

I cannot recommend this course enough. Peter is a fantastic teacher - I've done other courses before but never made that much progress (see pics- first painting was awful). I hated acrylics but thanks to this class I feel more confident with them. Peter actually breaks it all down and takes the time to support you. It's obvious he's passionate about art and he really helps you find your feet and confidence. On top of all that, there's always a really playlist playing and it's a good break. Highly recommend.

As a complete beginner, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to drawing and art. Peter was incredibly friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable, creating a relaxed and supportive environment from the very first session. Everything was broken down step by step, making it easy to follow and build confidence over time. Peter was always on hand to guide you through each stage, offering encouragement and clear explanations throughout. Over the 12 weeks, we explored a variety of materials and techniques. Each new medium was introduced thoughtfully, with plenty of time to get hands-on experience. Peter didn’t just show us how to draw, but also why certain approaches work, which really deepened my understanding of the process. Overall, it was a really rewarding experience. I came in with no experience and left feeling inspired and excited to continue drawing on my own. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone looking to start their artistic journey!

I have just completed the 12 week drawing and painting class and loved every minute! Suitable for all abilities as each class starts with a demonstration of the medium and techniques and Peter is available throughout to offer help and guidance. The 2 hours goes so quickly when you are there. I’m an absolute beginner and am really pleased with some of the pieces I have produced and can’t wait to frame them and put them up around my home.

Peter is an outstanding teacher! The course is held in a beautiful building, and each week offers something new and enjoyable. I came away from both the courses I did with lots of new skills and renewed appreciation for ones I had forgotten I loved.

Peter provided a fantastic introductory course to Art using different mediums. I had lots of fun working with pencil, charcoal, pastels and acrylic paints and the course has given me much more confidence with my art. Thanks for a really engaging and interesting course Peter.

Peter is simply the best. His classes are interactive and easy to follow. I love how he encourages and guides us when needed adapting for each individual's level and style. I have learnt a lot in the classes. This is the first time in years I have been consistently drawing and painting and this classes truly fuel that desire! I will definitely repeat.

I had some art training at college but haven't done any drawing or painting for decades! I'd been talking about taking it up again but needed some encouragement so my lovely sister booked this course for me. I've really enjoyed taking part and Peter is a great tutor. I've learnt a great deal that I didn't know before and now have the confidence to try things that I was less sure about. Peter has a lovely manner. He is very friendly and encouraging to people of all abilities. I would definately recommend the course and am looking to book another as soon as I can.
