art classes, venues and prices

COURSE PLAN drawing & painting in watercolours, acrylics, pen & ink and other mediums for both beginners and those more advanced.
Also, the same course but done all day one Saturday per month, at Lydiate L31 4EQ
The classes are then ongoing through the year, enrolling every 10 weeks, so that you can keep learning.

Classes held at Liverpool, Maghull, Lydiate, Hightown, Formby and Southport (scroll down for venues & prices)
enrolment is taking place now, serveral classes are already full.

I will have places available on the all day Saturday class, enrolling on 12th February 12th . If interested, best to contact me quickly. (this is a monthly class, held second Saturday of each month.)
The aim over the first ten weeks (or one Saturday per month for three months at Lydiate) is for you to use paint in a confident way, to understand the basic principles that will allow you to progress on your own initiative.

This will be achieved in a friendly and relaxed class so that you will learn best by a hands on approach and at your own pace, with me giving a demonstration of what you are asked to do, then allowing you to experiment with the medium under my guidance.

On week one, you will be introduced to the basic drawing skills such as measuring up a subject to achieve the correct proportions. Often, even people who may have been painting for a number of years, have not been taught basic drawing techniques, for example: how to measure and achieve correct proportions. The course will also deal with simple perspective. A good painting cannot sit on a badly drawn composition. Once you are happy with the basics, you will then move on to painting techniques, working from a still-life, set up in the class room. This will allow you to learn at your own pace in order to gain confidence in the acrylic medium and to experiment on personal technique. Initially, you will work in one colour, to gain knowledge of tone, before moving on to more colours. On the following weeks you will be able to work from your own favourite subject under my guidance.You can enrol for further weeks and keep learning; also take part in our regular exhibitions to allow you to display your work and sell.

The cost of the ten week course is £100 (please see below). The courses will then be ongoing through the year, with a month’s break in August.

THE MAIN AREAS COVERED BY THE FIRST FEW MONTHS WILL BE:

· Introduction to materials needed

· Introduction to the medium of drawing & painting

· How to draw accurately and in proportion – a must if you want to paint well

· Compositional skills, including how to transfer a photograph to paper or canvas by use of the grid system · Use of simple perspective and how to measure and achieve accurate proportions

· Introduction of techniques on how to apply paint and how to mix colours

· Exercises on tone, using one colour, then advancing on to more colours

· To produce by the end of the first few months a body of work that will demonstrate your progress

THE COURSE IS ON GOING THROUGH THE YEAR, SO THAT YOU KEEP LEARNING. YOU CANNOT LEARN EVERYTHING IN A FEW MONTHS.
