The course is aimed at those with an interest in both painting and art history, who have some experience of painting. Each term, we will focus on approximately five artists, exploring their palettes, techniques, and the art historical/historical context of their work. Following a presentation, you will be encouraged to make transcriptions of each artist’s paintings, using their palette and techniques.
Tuesdays 12.30pm – 3.00pm
17 September – 8 October (4-week Taster)
£88
All classes are taught in a friendly, welcoming style, aimed at building confidence.
Teaching methods include illustrated talks, demonstrations of materials and techniques, practical drawing/painting experience, exchanging ideas and experience with others, looking at the work of inspirational artists, individual tuition and feedback, and informal group critiques.
You’ll need to provide your own materials. I like to keep these to a minimum and there’s usually some flexibility as to which materials you’d like to use (oils, acrylics, pastels, etc.) but do get in touch beforehand so I can discuss this with you.
Please get in touch if you’d like further information about any of the courses or to make a booking.
