Course Title: Paint: Action Painting Walk in and paint - beginners to advanced
Our new course in painting teaches you to use various quick methods to complete a painting in either 1, 2 or 3 classes. Each class is 3 hours long.
Subject matter is pre-selected according to popular choices. These include landscapes, still lives, portraits, florals, animals, seascapes, abstract, musical, people (figurative) and so on.
No drawing will be required as all designs will be pre-drawn by the teachers. Choose from a choice of hardboard, canvas stretched over hardboard or canvas for each painting. Teachers will demonstrate the particular technique or ‘trick’ and will then help you to copy it onto yours.
An astonishing amount of different techniques will be included, like impasto (thick paint), palette knife, current trends, sponging, ragging, s’graffito (scratching off), texture, dry brushing, cut-outs and many blending techniques, pasting, wax resist, and many many more. Learn quick and effective ways to create amazing paintings and short-cut secrets artists use.
No experience required.
This course is for the student who wants to relax, learn and accomplish an artwork with the minimum effort in the shortest span of time. A ‘make-up’ open lesson is held every three months to complete paintings that have not been finished due to absence. No private work can be discussed or helped with – all work will be dealt with in group
Most students complete DRAW 2, and then go on to OWN1. Some prefer to complete DRAW 1 or DRAW2, then to complete one or two of the introductory courses (pastels, oils, acrylics, water colours) and then finally OWN1.
COURSE STRUCTURES:
All the Courses comprise the best Teaching Methods to educate you with ALL that you need to know. It works on both the physical and the intuitive levels - to help you understand, interpret and apply structure and logic to your working methods and to acquire deep concentration.
Creative ability ensues due to ‘clicks’. Some experience it earlier than others, also dependant on the type of subject (or dynamic) to be understood and implemented, but if the student allows him/herself to trust and believe processes; creative understanding occurs. Whether art, and the making of it, is generated intellectually or spiritually, it contains strange powers that can be exploited to heart’s content.
If you think you aren’t good enough to draw or paint, you are encountering your first very important challenge – your mind restricting you from creativity. If you apply structure and patience, you will become empowered, then add experience and you will become praiseworthy. These ‘structures’ aren’t available in books or with money greedy art teachers. They can only teach what they know. And do not care about external comment or competition – the mere fact that you are creatively involved is your personal acknowledgement of your own power.
