Summer July Course 2021
Monday 5th July – Friday 30th July (a 4-week program with a choice of
Sculpture, or Landscape on the last week)
A four-day intensive course suited to all levels. Students will receive instruction in the fundamentals of drawing and painting, always working from life. The course follows sequential steps, each lesson leading onto the next so that at the end of the four days students will have acquired an understanding of working from life, using charcoal and oil paints.
The first half of the course is in charcoal, learning mass drawing. This leads onto oil painting for the second half. Both mediums teach the fundamental principles of drawing and painting in mass, as opposed to line. Topics will include proportion, gesture&volume, values, edges and colour. Students will initially learn how to judge proportion & gesture, moving onto cast drawing before finishing the course with still life. Students receive plenty of individual critiques, in addition to group demonstrations.
Portrait Sculpture Course
A 3 Day introduction to our Portrait Sculpture Course
LEVEL 2 – Introduction to Portraiture | £270
Continuing working from plaster casts students will begin by producing a copy of a skull to gain a good understanding of the base structure of the head before breaking it down to simple planes. Copies will be at 3/4 life size so as to learn to work with scale without compromising anatomical accuracy. This building up of knowledge and skill is intended to give students the best possible grounding from which to progress to life model work.
