Get Creative:

This is our original course in the Mapledurham Studio in 2005 - which everyone raved about and gives you a Professional 'overview' of fine art painting. You paint in acrylics on the first day and you can chose either oils or acrylics on the second.

This is an Improvers course - where we concentrate on 'Fine Art' paintings - that is great composition, (this is explained on the course). We make working drawings on location and work on tonal values and great paint techniques with all your professional materials provided. Lunch and take away tuition manuals.

Contemporary Weekend:
'Stage 3' This weekend is all about 'thinking', Interpretation and development. Being an Artist is all about 'what you have to say' - 'a mission'

The concentration is on profesional painting and composition- which start from concepts and mental thinking.

This is a more challenging painting course where you use your brain as well as your hands.

Painting is all about you and your style.

Your style is what makes you special and the word 'contemporary' means 'of the moment'. Having your own style is what is important in being an artist.

So this weekend is all about 'Interpretation', 'Concepts' and learning to 'See and Interpret'

Caroline shows you how to 'Interpret'. this is for students with confidence or ideally after you have attended Stage 1 and Stage 2.

The emphasis is on; interpretation, concepts, composition, tonal values, colour balance, focal points, brush marks, how the paint works etc.

Watercolour Weekends:

Our watercolour weekends are in the Studio and on location. (Subject to weather). That's the beauty of having the Professional Art Studio, we don't let the weather stop us doing anything!
