Autumn update

May 5, 2012

It’s been a very productive Autumn and all our classes are producing some wonderful work. A few of of the Monday night painters have been exploring Grisaille, an old masters technique of studying tonal values before adding colour, with some stunning results. Like our Facebook page to see more of this technique and other recent work from our students.

There is still room if you are interested in joining us, there’s lots going on!

Our Thursday night classes have been extended!

Due to the incredible amount of interest, Painting for Beginners will be continuing the Thursday night classes for now. Once again we are close to full in both evening classes, so if you are interested in joining us we recommend that you book soon, or ask to be put on our waiting list.

For updates on what the class is up to, and news of any special offers, ‘Like’ our Facebook page!

Drawing by Tuesday morning student.

Whilst our Monday night class is currently full, there are still a couple of places free for Tuesday morning and Thursday evening, so it’s not too late to join! There is a short waiting list for anyone hoping for a Monday night spot, just let us know if you would like to be put on it.

In our second week back we have been looking at composition and tonal values, and for this there is no better artist to look at than Giorgio Morandi. Here are a few of the students works from this exercise, only their second week of painting!

THURSDAY EVENING CLASS

January 12, 2012

Thursdays 6.30 -9.30 pm

As our popular Monday evening class is currently full, we are happy to announce that we will be running a second evening class from Feb 2 until March 22! As students will be starting at the same time it will be a lot of fun, and we will cover all that you need to know in order to get painting. This course caters for the complete beginner. (If you already have some experience, don’t worry we can work at a more advanced level.)

The 8 week block will include one session of life-drawing, and you will have at least 3 completed works by the end of the 8 weeks.

At the completion of the 8 week course students wishing to continue may be added to the wait-list for our Monday evening class, as places become available.

If you are interested in joining this group please contact us as there are only a few places left! You can book and pay through this website, just click Monday evening and send us an email nominating Thursday as your choice.

Remember to’like’ us on Facebook to stay up to date with all the class news!

The Monday evening class is currently full, but there are still a few places for the Tuesday morning class beginning January 31!
