Online Course January 26^th-28^th (Tuesday – Thursday) 2021

Painting the Everyday uses the everyday objects we all have around the house as source material for painting. This three day online course is a celebration of drawing and painting familiar everyday objects in the setting of your own home. We will take these familiar and often overlooked household objects and, through a process of dynamic and energetic drawing and bold improvisations in paint, reclaim them as subject matter for painting.

Online Course Time: 9.30am – 12.30pm Live online tutorials Drawing and painting self-portraits, looking at yourself in the mirror, is a grounding, challenging and invigorating experience. You are in good company as many of the great painters in history made Self Portraits. You are free to invent and take risks, as there is no one to offend or judge the likeness other than yourself.

Online Course Experiments in Watercolour is a three day practical course led by Simon Carter. The course aims to have a fresh look at the medium of watercolour and how it might be used in an expressive, experimental and contemporary way. The course will not be about tech-nique, but will seek to use watercolour in a bold and painterly manner. Students will be working from drawings and will be required to make a series of drawings prior to the course starting.

Online Course Time: 9.30am – 12.30pm Live online tutorials, 1.30 – 4.30 pm Working independently 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 4 day course is all about capturing and exploring these qualities in drawing and painting.
