About Working in Colour with the Scottish Colourists

This course will look at how different palettes can affect a painting. The subject of this two day course will be various works by different Scottish Colourists, their different palettes and bold compositions.

You will draw a series of sketches to catch the feel of the work then do a number of quick paintings. You will be using different colours to start to understand about the part colour plays in composition.

On the second day you will focus on one picture.

I AM A BEGINNER- WHERE SHOULD I START, OR HOW TO START AGAIN AS A RUSTY RETURNER?

This may be a bit tricky for a total beginner with oils. There will be a beginners class in August .

 

If you are rusty, or uncertain about certain aspects of painting then this class will be a good place for you. Your tutor will guide you through the process of learning to draw and paint in a step-by-step fashion so if you are just a bit rusty this should be fine.
