Barnes through painting & drawing - oso arts centre

Course Content:
The "Barnes through Painting and Drawing" course will concentrate on images found in and around Barnes (this includes buildings, street scenes, people, trees, parks and the River Thames). We will use photographic images (your own or mine) to work from and occasionally, if the weather allows, go sketching outside. Various drawing and painting techniques will be explored, which will include pencil, coloured pencil, pen & ink, conté, crayons, pastel, watercolours, gouache and acrylics.
Teaching methods include: practical demonstrations, practical hands on experience, exchanging ideas and experience with others, keeping a sketchbook, looking at the work of inspirational artists within an art history context, formal instruction, individual tuition, personal and group critiques.
Tutor and student assess work in progress verbally on an individual basis. There will be group evaluation discussions at the end of each session.
Assessment Methods:
Protective clothing is advisable. You will need to provide all your own art materials and pay for any suggested visits to galleries and museums.
