Drawing & Painting Foundation Key Skills

COURSE OVERVIEW

You will explore and develop a number of traditional drawing and painting skills through this guided step-by-step practice, whilst lightly experimenting with a few other creative approaches.

Key topics: observational drawing, measurement, composition, perspective, shape, line, tone and self-expression; wet and dry / mixed media; some colour theory; and material applications i.e. palette knife, dry brushing, glazing, ink and wash, etc.

By the end of the course, you will be able to show a developed and comprehensive understanding of both drawing and painting knowledge through practice, to plan ahead in your chosen medium and constructively problem-solve.

This course runs on a Friday 1230-1430.
