Description
Painting from Direct Observation
Themed workshops relating to working from direct observation, colour mixing and perception will support your practice, as well as demonstrations given by your tutor. Structured activities during the first half of the week will lead into the sustained development of a still life painting. This course is suitable for students who already have some experience of drawing and painting independently.
