Description

Thursdays

An advanced oil painting course to develop your personal painterly language. Increase your understanding of the use of colour and the abstract values that underpin composition.

You’ll have the opportunity to work with a variety of subject matter, including still life and a portrait model.

Focusing on direct observation and the interesting questions this practice raises, we’ll consider the formal issues of drawing and colour.

For those with some practical experience of drawing and oil painting. Not suitable for beginners.
