Drawing and Painting - Online Live

Is this course for me

This is an online course delivered using Zoom, in real time with live interaction with your tutor and fellow learners.

Traditional and experimental painting techniques will be explored, including the combination of mixed media, e.g. pen and ink, charcoal. By working from both direct observation and from photographic references and sketches, you will encounter a variety of interesting and stimulating subject matter - landscape, still life, natural forms, etc. Reference will also be made to the work of other artists as appropriate.
The Tutor will discuss the course outcomes with you but as a guide by the end of the course you should be able to:

- work from a variety of primary and secondary subject matter.
- make a preliminary drawing to establish a composition.
- select and use the appropriate brushes and materials.
- explore colour mixing
- use a range of painting techniques for watercolour and acrylic (washes, glazes, drybrush, wet in wet)
- work to health and safety guidelines
