This annual course has been very successful and popular with artists. They have found it incredibly helpful and informative for their practise; enabling them to break out of feeling stuck and then onto producing personal and exciting work with confidence and renewed curosity and energy. It is all about motivating artists to get working in their studio every day, for 10 days. With daily input from Emily as your Paint Fit Trainer, the course will encourage you to make a positive commitment to your practice and instil a daily work ethic that will become an essential part of your painting routine.

Autumn begins and Nature slows. As a celebratory finale the colours and majestic shapes of Autumn trees illuminate the landscape; often framed with a slate grey or sharp, clear, pale blue sky. Ornate tapestries of reds, oranges, yellows, browns, greens and purples appear in the canopies that reach skyward and spread out like hanging skirts. This 5 day course is all about capturing and exploring these qualities in drawing and painting.

What is Landscape? Perhaps it could be thought of as material and space subject to the processes of nature. Gravity, light, temperature, atmospherics, growth and decay. Many artists seek to exploit the parallels that exist between the processes of landscape and those of painting. The pushing and pulling, the dribbling, soaking and eroding, the generative and destructive and with the artist’s body as a force of nature operating dynamically within the ‘field’ of painting.

Course Dates: 4^th- 5^th December  2025 (Thursday - Friday)

Embodied Drawing - An experimental 2 day drawing course embracing the physicality of drawing on a large scale - using your own body, gesture and sensation as your subject. Using the generous space of the Seawhite studio there is almost no limit as to how large you can go.

Course Dates: 10^th- 12^th December  2025 (Wednesday - Friday)

This 3 day course is about making confident and expressive drawings and paintings that explore the poise and character of the model and the rich sumptuous fabrics that make up her costume. Along with the silhouette of the costume and poses, the texture and colours of the fabrics will be an inspiration.

Eve is our model and is Emily Ball's daughter. She is currently studying Costume Design for Stage and Screen at Wimbledon College of Art. She will be designing, making and modelling her own costume for this course as a reflection of who she is as a modern young woman. Painting from the clothed figure means we will be looking at colour, texture and pattern as much as the revealed and framed areas of the body. Celebrate the way fabric adorns the figure, how it changes as it wraps around form, glimpses of skin, the features of the face emerging from folds and frills.
