Course overview
Course description
This course is designed for beginners and improvers, starting with the basics, students will learn about materials and tools, colour, colour mixing, composition and brushwork. More advanced students will continue to develop their individual personal style and artistic expression, translating observations onto the canvas.
Through step- by-step demonstrations and hands on exercises, students will gradually build confidence in mixing colour, creating depth and perspective, capturing light and shadow, and creating elements of landscapes such as skies, mountains, trees, water and reflections, and much more.
As the course progresses students will practise and develop more advanced techniques, including palette knife application, impasto, glazing and texture manipulation to add atmosphere and dimension to their work.
You will explore composition specific to landscape painting, such as horizon lines, focal points, aerial perspective depth and distance.
You will learn about different types of supports and painting surfaces, how to make your own stretched canvas, varnishing and framing your completed work.
We will explore subjects of your choice to meet your individual needs and expectations during the course.
You will receive constructive feedback and ongoing assessment, partake in group discussions and critique with peers, to encourage motivation growth and development.
Learn in a welcoming, supportive, friendly environment, enjoy painting and create your very own masterpiece.
