Tutor - Catherine Knight

2-day workshop

Thursday 17 and Friday 18 July 2025, 10am-4pm

During this course we will explore the work of  Edgar Degas, Edvard Munch, and Katherine Bradford with a focus on how these artists depict seascapes and swimmers. Using a variety of different oil painting methods, during this course you will experiment with using coloured grounds, limited palettes and various brush techniques.

On the second day there will be time to develop your own Swimming inspired painting building on the inspiration that has been gained.

Please bring an apron or wear clothes suitable for a studio environment. We recommend bringing your own brushes if you have them, as the brushes we have are student quality, rather than fine artist quality. You will need to bring a bag to take work home with you at the end of the two days, bearing in mind, work will likely still be wet.
