This course is a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of drawing and painting in a friendly and supportive environment. It’s aimed at students with no prior experience and also those looking to rekindle their practice.
Initially working from simple, still life set-ups, students will be introduced to ways of drawing using line, tone, composition, form and shape. There will be an opportunity to work from a clothed figure and also experience drawing outside on location. Throughout the week, you will take part in a range of activities, learning the essentials of using oil and acrylic paint and working with colour. Tutor-led demonstrations will help students gain confidence working with a variety of materials.
By the end of the week, you will leave with a portfolio of paintings and drawings, a sketchbook and the confidence and basic skills for further study.
All core materials are provided.
