This course offers a rare and valuable opportunity to paint from the life model in a sustained pose for the duration of the week. Students will focus particularly on the concepts of painting from perception with the course highlighting discoveries that can be made with the image evolving and transforming in ways that may not have been thought possible. You will be introduced to the artist’s palette (pigments, colour mixing, tonal and temperature value) and formal aspects such as space, composition and pictorial structure. One-to-one tuition will be given, and all levels of painting experience are welcome, including beginners.
