MONDAY NIGHT STUDIO (Oil Painting)
(+6 more dates)
Description
Monday Night Studio: Tutor: Lucy Roleff
Level: Intermediate to advanced
Our ongoing classes provide a supportive and friendly studio environment for students to build confidence and develop their practice with guidance and feedback from their tutor.
This class is aimed at students wanting to explore their own aesthetic interests and direction, whilst concentrating on developing painting skills, techniques and studio practice to make the best work they can with close tutorial support.
Students are encouraged to bring in their own preparatory material to work from, or to set up individual studio-based enquiries from our large supply of props and reference material. Traditional and contemporary painting techniques are discussed, and optional exercises are available to assist in furthering skills and expanding students practice. Tutors work with each student individually throughout the class.
Painting students must have already completed our beginners course or already have previous oil painting experience. It is also suitable for artists working in isolation who seek the company of other artists for support and encouragement.
Students may join at any time and class-passes are available online. Materials storage space is available at the studio for ongoing students. Students are expected to bring their own materials, or may hire or purchase a kit at the studio. A full materials list can be found here. This class is not suitable for beginners.
