A course for the intermediate painter wishing to strengthen their work according to their own aesthetic. Using thumbnail drawings, you’ll begin by developing strong and interesting compositions. These quick studies will then be transposed onto your support – canvas, paper, board or other suitable surfaces. We’ll explore underpainting, blocking in values, assessing colour temperatures and layering paint/colour to achieve a strong and unified whole. Use any painting medium with which you have familiarity – acrylic, oil, watercolour or pastel. Artists may work from their own photos, sketches, still-life set-ups, mirrors, etc. Come prepared with source material, sketchbook and pencil, and your chosen painting medium and support (canvas, etc.)
