Course Content
Working from a different still life each week, you will initially be introduced to the basic principles of drawing from observation, with a focus on line, tone and composition. You will then progress onto basic colour mixing with a focus on the relationship between tone and colour.
During each session, you will produce one piece of work but you will also be encouraged to make small thumbnail sketches in preparation for painting.
You will be taught using a combination of demonstration, one to one guidance and group discussion and you will be shown examples of a range of artists work to discuss and learn from. By the end of the course you will have developed confidence in drawing and painting and hopefully will feel inspired to progress onto another course and more ambitious work.
