Course programme

Your personal development will be encouraged through taught studio sessions, informal discussions, slide talks and regular critiques to discuss ideas and methods.

Week one

In the first week you'll explore some of the formal issues of drawing through observation, looking carefully at tone and mark-making.

You'll then translate these drawings into paintings via tone and temperature and through the use of colour, with a special emphasis on:

  • the translation of tone and line into colour
  • the role of colour in both painting and drawing
  • the ways in which colour can be manipulated
Week two

In the second week you'll explore composition and paint handling, i.e. how to organise pictorial space and how colour and surface are changed by the quality of paint and the tools used.

You'll also learn strategies to generate and develop personal ideas in painting.
