Overview
Develop your artistic skills under the guidance of professional artist Jackie Micallef in this ongoing, artist-led course designed for anyone who wants to draw and paint in a supportive and inspiring environment.
Unlike a traditional course where every student follows the same project, this open class gives you the freedom to work on subjects that interest you most. Whether you are exploring drawing for the first time, developing your painting techniques, or continuing your own artistic practice, Jackie will provide personalised guidance, demonstrations, and constructive feedback to help you achieve your creative goals.
Working alongside fellow artists in a welcoming studio environment, you will build confidence, refine your technical skills, and develop your own artistic voice while progressing at a pace that suits you.
What You'll Learn
As each student follows an individual creative path, learning outcomes will vary according to personal interests and experience. Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to:
Strengthen your drawing and painting skills.
Improve observation, composition, proportion, and perspective.
Develop a greater understanding of colour, tone, texture, and light.
Explore a range of drawing and painting techniques.
Experiment with different materials and approaches.
Build confidence in expressing your own ideas visually.
Receive ongoing individual feedback and professional guidance.
Who Is This Course For?
This course welcomes students of all experience levels, including:
Complete beginners looking to build a strong foundation.
Hobby artists wishing to develop their skills.
Students preparing portfolios or pursuing further artistic study.
Practising artists seeking regular professional guidance.
Anyone looking for a structured weekly class with personalised tuition.
No previous drawing or painting experience is required.
Teaching Approach
Every student works on their own chosen subject matter while benefiting from the expertise of professional artist Jackie Micallef.
Rather than following a fixed weekly project, students receive individual tuition based on their own interests, abilities, and artistic goals. Jackie provides one-to-one guidance throughout each session, helping students overcome technical challenges, develop new skills, and gain confidence in their creative practice.
Subjects may include still life, landscape, portraiture, figure drawing, abstraction, botanical studies, or personal creative projects. Students are encouraged to explore the materials and techniques that best support their artistic development.
Materials
Students should bring their own drawing and painting materials according to the projects they wish to undertake.
Basic guidance on suitable materials can be provided before the course begins, and Jackie will be happy to advise students on additional materials as their work develops.
Studio easels, tables, and shared workspace are provided.
