Drawing and Painting workshop

This class varies a lot. Sometimes we can spend ten weeks learning about the various aspects of images- perspective, tone, colour, mark making, composition and other formal elements. This gives us the opportunity to deal with a variety of subject matter and to understand how to choose the most relevant method of drawing for you and the subject.

You should expect to be led step-by-step from drawing to finished painting as the works progress. You’d start by drawing the subject in different ways before looking at colour application, under-painting, blocking in, light values, reflected colour and blending and detailing techniques.

Sometimes these Saturday morning sessions can take place outside. Recently I ran a ten week course of drawing sessions where we visited places as varied as Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Cannon Hall and park, A Bodlean church, a dairy farm, and many others.

As the nature of this class always evolves, it’s worth getting in touch to find out what the next term holds.
