Course programme

Topics covered

  • The first sessions will deal colour and the application and technical aspects of oil and acrylics.
  • You will create a direct, or "alla prima” painting each session.
  • Students will learn to enjoy paint and its properties by using a variety of palettes and application methods.
  • The approach will become gradually more deliberate and measured, using more traditional layering techniques, including imprimitura, grisaille, and other types of under painting.
  • You will explore the different qualities of transparent and opaque paints.


Students will be encouraged to make sketch books around particular themes between sessions.
