My classes are full of students with mixed experience, which is a lovely way to learn. Beginners start with a few short introductory exercises to cover the foundations of observing, and trying new materials, then join in with the same subjects as those with more experience.
Recently the subject was composition using apples, reflective objects and fabric. Here are some lovely examples of student studies.

Below - a few photos of the progress of one artwork. It started with a drawing, part of which was shaded in graphite pencil, then painted in water colour. This was done by Rose, who is very new to water colour but clearly is getting the hang of it!
