What happens in this class?

In this class, we will use flowers and plants as a starting point to create a range of sketches using different techniques, materials and surfaces. The focus of the session will be on really looking at the object and letting your hand follow your eyes, not your brain. You will experience the joy of simply looking without judging or interpreting what's in front of you in order to create vibrant and detailed drawings.

I really enjoyed Marie's drawing class. I made far more progress than I expected in just 2 hours! Marie was very encouraging and the whole experience was fun and relaxing.

I really enjoyed this class. Having never been to a drawing class before, I was pleased to find it was low key and helpful. Would recommend.

Marie taught me and my son, an amazing creative experience that taught is some really fun skills and strengthened our bond. She was informative, yes. But, more importantly, Marie showed sensitivity and responsiveness when teaching our class, two things that brought out a most engaging group dynamic and made everyone have a good time.

I learnt different styles of shading to draw 3D objects. Marie is really vibrant and very friendly and makes the class really fun. She has helped me build confidence in my drawing and made me realise that I can simply enjoy drawing without judging. She is a wonderful teacher and I would totally recommend her class!

Teacher was enthusiastic & encouraging. It was a short course but I felt we had a good grounding in a wide variety of techniques. Marie made us try different things & got us out of our comfort zones. Venue was fine for our needs.

Marie always gave me (and other students) positive feedbacks to encourage to draw. It's a great class for someone who wants to start drawing again after a long absence.

I learned techniques that enable me to draw more in 3D, to create contrasts, and how colour works. Marie was really encouraging, friendly and informative. The venue was easy to get to.

Marie Lenclos was my art tutor last year. I must say I was always very negative about my work, but she showed me a new ways of how to enjoy drawing/painting. She taught me not only how to enjoy painting but also belive in myself. Classes were always taught in very friendly but yet professional manner. I would recommend Marie’s art class to everybody, no mater of your abilities.
