Painting

You will be inspired to develop your own practice in drawing and painting with individual advice and tutoring in appropriate technique and media. Lectures/discussions, and some group studies will serve to enhance developmental progress.

You are also encouraged to keep a visual diary as an essential aid to your study, reflecting your practice and individual interests including the work of other artists. This is also intended to become a personal journal of your development during the course.

Due to scheduled studio space maintenance in 2020 this course will run in the second term only with an adjusted fee to reflect a 35 hour course content over 10 weeks.

Learning Methods

Methods of delivery include: class talks, demonstrations, individual/group discussion and studio-based practice.

You will be taught by specialist staff who will offer practical advice and instruction together with personal encouragement in discovering individual creative skills. You will receive general instruction and one-to-one tuition tailored to suit your personal level of experience and ability.

A complete health and safety induction will take place on commencement of the course.
