About Art Intense Courses

Art Intense courses are ideal for students eager to

develop their skills through focused practice, expert

guidance, and the support of a like-minded creative

community.
Our classes welcome artists of all levels—from those

who have just completed beginner courses to those

who have progressed through multiple terms.

Because Briony tutors all beginner and improver classes

herself, she can tailor her guidance to

suit each individual’s skill level, ensuring every

student receives personalised tuition and advice.

Every participant, regardless of experience, is encouraged

to engage fully with the projects.

​

Course Structure

Courses consist of weekly 3-hour sessions at convenient local venues.
Each term features a fresh curriculum, so returning students can continue learning without repeating lessons. Topics cover a wide variety of techniques and mediums, including pencil drawing, charcoal, oil pastel, watercolour, and acrylic painting. The courses are designed to inspire and broaden your artistic knowledge and skills.

​

Preparing for Class

Before each lesson, students receive a detailed pre-class information pack via email, including:

• Briony’s completed original artwork for the project

• Step-by-step process photos illustrating her approach

• A comprehensive instruction sheet listing the exact materials used (paints, brushes, supports, etc.)

• Reference photos, including the exact image Briony works from

Students are encouraged to bring either printed copies or digital versions of these materials to class on a tablet or phone.

​

What to Expect in Class

Each session begins with Briony displaying her finished

artwork as a visual reference and source of inspiration.

She will then introduce the project, explaining the subject

choice and learning objectives. Following this, she

provides a 30-40 minute live demonstration covering

essential techniques and tips. During the demo, students

can take notes and ask questions.

Afterwards, Briony offers personalised, one-on-one

tuition to help students progress on their projects.

​Unlike large franchises where classes can exceed 30

students with mixed projects, Art Intense keeps class sizes

capped at 16 students. Everyone works on the same

project, allowing focused teaching and meaningful

individual feedback.

​

Practice & Materials

Students are encouraged to practice outside of class to nurture their creativity and skills. Many students begin to build their own art supply collections over time.

To maintain consistency and avoid confusion caused by differing materials, students are expected to bring their own brushes, mediums, supports, water jars, and palettes. Art Intense provides basics such as tape, drawing boards, tabletop easels, and some drawing tools.
