Starts Friday 8 January 2027

During this course you will explore the work of three artists who incorporate the figure into the landscape in different ways: Berthe Morisot, Edvard Munch and Tom Hammick. Known for their radiant colours, this course will help you to gain confidence with using colour and mark- making. We will look at their landscapes and how they apply oil paint and then you will have a chance to develop your own composition inspired by their work. We will explore using a coloured ground, using thin washes, building up glazes and exploring texture. This will be a fun and experimental course where you can build confidence and develop your own style.

Suitable for all abilities.

All materials provided, though we recommend bringing your own brushes if you have them. Please wear clothes suitable for a paint studio environment and bring a bag or portfolio suitable for taking wet work home with you after the sessions.
