Can anyone recommend painting/drawing classes in Basel of reasonable course fee.

No idea if it's in your budget or not, but the Migros Klubschule does offer a class in English in Painting and Drawing. more info here

Thanks a lot. I checked the only course I could find and unfortunately it clashes with my other hobby class which also falls on thursdays.

Not able to find any other courses.

I don't know if any others, but if you do find one, please report back - I'd also like to know!

FWIW I attended the Migros class also and would highly reccomend it.
