I believe the answer is:

etch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what an artist may do' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'in a quiet churchyard' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ETCH' can be found hidden inside 'quiet churchyard'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for etch that I've seen before include "Imprint vividly" , "Cut; engrave" , "Inscribe" , "Engrave; fix firmly" , "Engrave metal plate using acid" .)
