Course Description

This course will give you the support and guidance needed to develop your own independent practice. You will be setting up a studio-based study to evolve your own practical and aesthetic interests. This will be supported by a series of optional morning workshops including: working from secondary sources, mixing and applying colour, discussing supports and grounds, methods demonstrations, and learning some of the essentials of the painter’s craft.

A life model can be booked on selected days to generate source material. There will be individual tutorials, slide shows and group critiques run by invited artists, representing a wide spectrum of professional practice in terms of style and subject matter. This course may be followed for two or four weeks as appropriate.
