Painting courses
Improver workshops
For the Improver workshops should be familiar with the materials you will be using and have some experience of painting.
Tuesdays 8th and 15th of July
£60
We will work from resource images to practice rendering the human form with light and shadow, using the background to accentuate form and experience using different tone grounds for our drawing.
Still life and flower painting
Wednesdays 9th and 16th of July
£60
We’ll come up with the challenge of painting from life and find ways to simplify our forms and refine our figure/ground relationship by the use of shadow and colour harmony. I will be demonstrating in acrylics but you can use other painting media if you wish.
Portraiture and figure painting
Tuesdays 22nd and 29th of July
£60
We will work from resource images to practice rendering the human form with light and shadow, using the background to accentuate form. I will be demonstrating in oils but you can use other painting media if you wish.
Plein air watercolour sketching
Wednesdays 23rd and 30th of July

We’ll look at ways of using contrast and negative image painting to recreate the world around us. We’ll identify the most dramatic elements of composition in a scene and learn how to work with watercolour to bring it to life.
