Oil painting - all levels

Course Content:
This course is studio based and will centre around the still life. You will be given extended periods of time to complete paintings and can work at your own pace and in your own way. Specific teaching will focus on creating different textures by applying paint in different ways (e.g. drybrush, glazing, etc) and through the use of mediums. You will also extend your use of colour by experimenting with different palettes with reference to simple colour theory. You will also be taught how to build a painting in layers and compare this with direct wet on wet approach, alla prima painting.

Teaching methods include illustrated talks, demonstrations of materials and techniques, practical painting experience, exchanging ideas and experience with others, looking at the work
of inspirational artists, individual tuition and feedback , and informal group critiques.
Assessment Methods:
Tutor and student assess work in progress verbally. Group evaluation discussions at the end of each session.
