Course Description

This course acts as a bridge should you wish to extend your experience of drawing and consider how it might be developed into painting, whilst contemplating how these two disciplines cross over and inform one another. During week one you will be exploring some of the formal issues of drawing through observation. Special emphasis is put on looking carefully at tone and mark-making, the translation of tone and line into colour and the role of colour in both painting and drawing. In the second week you will investigate composition and paint handling, as well as strategies to generate and develop personal ideas in painting, using a variety of materials. Your personal development will be encouraged through taught studio sessions, slide talks and regular discussions about ideas and methods..
