Upcoming Art Courses and Classes - April 2023

 

Original Oil Painting by Jean 2023

Just finished teaching two courses of winterscapes.  Many students produced in my opinion some of their best work - Jean, Terry; Helen and Peter in particular.  The results of this wonderful work can be seen below.  The next round of courses will begin shortly. The dates and subjects are noted at the end of this post.  Thank you to everyone who attended the classes and making them a success.

Student's Artwork & Upcoming Courses 2020

Original acrylic painting by Maria

Over the past few months I have had the pleasure to teach several successful courses - 'Parisian Scenes,' 'Rainy Day Scenes' and 'Children in Art.' Each course started with some historical and contextual background - we looked at and discussed various paintings from other artists.  We finished week one with some tasks such as colour mixing, demos on how to depict rain and the human figure.  The rest of the weeks were spent developing the students paintings and the finished work is shown here.
