Students often say that although they can see what they want to draw, they can't actually do it. They feel that what is holding them back is some failure of method, and it is all too easy at this point for them to believe drawing is a special gift possessed by the very few. My experience suggests that the failure lies in their inability to truly see and analyse the subject, rather than not being able to make use of a technique.
There are six courses. Course one teaches drawing skills, how to use a pencil.
Course two teaches drawing in colour and mixed media.
Course three teaches watercolour skills.
Course four teaches further watercolour skills
course five teaches pastel skills.
Course Six teaches Acrylics
These courses will be more than just learning to draw or paint they will also enlarge your visual vocabulary which ultimately will improve your drawing and painting skills.
Each course has nine lessons which have been devised so that they can be studied at the student's own pace. It is quite acceptable to work more slowly, or a little faster, whichever is most appropriate.
Each course commences with an introduction to materials and equipment, with some easy to follow exercises to build confidence as well as competence in drawing. Illustrations and diagrams to help in areas such as tone, colour, texture and perspective and exercises in developing the ability to see and improve the visual memory.
Fees: £130 for the 9 lessons and assessments
PAYMENT We accept £ sterling cheques and French Euro cheques.
There is no age limit.
