The Course

For Beginners:
• Introduction to Materials, figure and object drawing
• The application of drawing as the fundamental planning tool within painting.
• Composition, the development of ideas, sketching and transfer to canvas.
• Best practices and approach to the practical art of picture creation.
• Basic colour theory and its practical application to painting.
• The execution of ‘finished’ work in drawing and painting.

NB. This course utilizes acrylic paints and mediums which are non toxic, fast drying and retain colour with age, as well as being well suited to tropical environments where humidity and heat can affect finished work. It does not include the use of oil paint due to time constraints in drying times, practicality in use and the potential for allergic reactions.

The course will be determined by the artist/student’s level of understanding and practical capability and will accommodate the specific wishes of the student, whether this be theoretical or practical in nature. Please specify this when contacting us and we will create a structure to assist you.
