Course Staff

An ideal introduction to the basics of painting with acrylics.

Working from a still life setup, we’ll begin the day with monochrome and limited palette exercises to develop our understanding of tone. The tutor will go on to introduce colour mixing and, having experimented with different compositions, we’ll each work on our own larger, sustained painting.

Throughout the workshop, there will be references to artists who use acrylic paint, including David Hockney, Helen Frankenthaler and Lubaina Himid – from the techniques they have used, to the context in which the work is made.

This course is an ideal way to build your confidence with painting – a perfect springboard for further study on a future workshop or course at the School.
