The Dynamic Still Life

Students on the course will be given live, online demonstrations on how to approach this seemingly simple subject. Simon will give an approach to the process of making both drawings and expressive paintings. Students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the experience of drawing and painting; finding excitement in even the most mundane of objects.

A gallery page on the website has been set up for students attending the course to put their work on line. We will be able to look at the results of each days work. This will be a way of celebrating our shared experience and getting extra inspiration. It also gives Simon the opportunity to see the work and give students one to one feedback, at the end of the course, to help their progress and confidence.

This course includes:

• A daily 2 hour live group tutorial each morning from 10 – 12.
• Daily course notes, instructions and advice that can be downloaded.

I will be using Zoom for our Video Communication. It is really easy to use. If you are not familiar with it (and to be honest I was not until 2 weeks ago) then what I will do is set up a 'Meeting' for each day of the course and you will be emailed a link to enable you to join the meeting at the specified time. I will be online early so you can check in earlier that 10 am if you wish. We can have a chat. To familiarise yourself with it perhaps download Zoom and practise using it with family and friends so that you feel comforatble and confident using it.
