Art/Painting Classes
These classes are for those who are keen to explore various painting styles and techniques to develop one's own style. Each class will commence with a basic introduction to a classic art technique and an example of an artist who used this in their practice. Classes will explore the basics of colour mixing, composition, perspective and tone within a work, along with cheat techniques to help students 'see' their art. Students will develop a work from source material / subject matter as provided, continuing in theme from the artist introduced at the beginning of the session, and guided through the creation of their work.
