This art course is suitable for everyone interested in drawing and painting! Students will learn and develop skills allowing them to create artwork with confidence. No previous experience is needed – the tutor will support all students in their artistic development. Your tutor will also demonstrate drawing and painting techniques.
This is an informative and fun 10-week course which will encourage learners to explore methods of observational drawing, and how to translate drawings into painting with colour. We will also explore novel ways to work with colour imaginatively and explore composition, both with figurative and with abstract art.
This course will involve working from still life, elements of drawing from the figure, and exploring more expressive and imaginative approaches. Various techniques will be used, including pencil, charcoal, acrylic and paints.
No previous experience is necessary. The tutor will stretch individual learners according to their individual skill level.
Pencils, charcoal, putty rubber, acrylics (basic set - 3 primary colours plus black and white) and a selection of paint brushes suitable for acrylics. Please bring along a notepad/pencil in case you wish to make notes for yourself.
