Aspiring artists are invited to learn the fundamentals of painting and drawing under the guidance of freelance illustrator Danny Stanley.
"The gallery was founded a century ago as a teaching gallery, so the staff and I are very proud to continue that tradition," he said.
"As for teaching, it's in my blood, both my parents and two of my siblings are teachers."
The class is designed for people who have interest or talent in drawing but have never really studied the foundations or want to brush up on their skills.
Every week students will focus on different fundamentals like perspective, figure drawing, light and shadow, Stanley said.
"We'll reinforce the theory with sketchbook exercises, drawing from life and discussion," he said.
"We will then finish off each lesson with working on a personal project, a painting or drawing, where we can apply the skills and theory."
