About £29–£60 a session, with £40 typical. Evening workshops cost least; small daytime classes in London cost most.
Usually two to three hours, long enough to learn a technique and finish a small piece. Many studios also run weekly courses over a term.
Many tutors suggest some drawing first, because it trains the eye, but beginners' painting classes usually teach a little of both together.
Yes. Regular drawing practice helps build a strong portfolio for school art exams, and a tutor can give feedback that busy art teachers may not have time for.
Your own materials for home, framing and longer courses are separate costs. Ask whether paper and paints are included before booking.
