Painting

A relaxing week where we explore, discover and develop a spirit of creativity through drawing and painting. With supportive tuition you’re encouraged to take in the atmosphere and channel it onto the canvas. Through experimentation and playfulness your own artistic style will develop.

Drawing and Painting from still life or outside on the land provides a means to develop your skills at your own pace. Everyone can draw and paint their own images in their own personal way as a creative process. You can work according to nature, or in abstract. You’ll observe and take decisions, concentrate and let go, make large gestures and linger in detail.

These courses are designed for beginners and artists of all abilities who are either new to acrylics or want to improve and extend their skills using this, the most versatile and exciting of painting media.

For Beginners and those with Experience

The courses are individually coached and suitable for beginners, advanced and experienced participants.

If you have little or no experience you’ll learn various techniques, how to use materials and how to apply the basic principles of composition, contrast, perspective and colour.

Advanced or experienced participants are assisted to develop their own strengths and are encouraged to try other perspectives and studies.

Materials and Tools

Materials are provided such as charcoal, pencils, acrylics, watercolours, paper, paintbrushes, drawing boards and easels. You can also use your own tools and materials if preferred.

Presentation

On the last day of the course we have a final exhibition of artwork, a chance for discussion and to share insights.
