The Shape of This Course

Daytime Classes.
January - April 2025.

Tuesdays & Wednesdays at Winterbourne Down.

Learn how to elevate your technique, gain inspiration, and discover your creative style with this mixed media drawing and painting course.

On this course, we will look at how to use the formal element ‘shape’ to inform artwork. Over the course of 12 weeks we will explore: Reflective marbles, dynamic splashes, illustrative old boots, minimalist orchids, contemporary roses, distant galaxies, mindful figure and fabric and candid Hopper inspired scenes.

Across the twelve weeks, you will use a range of mediums and styles to create an eclectic portfolio of work.

The Portrait Course -

BYOP.

Evening Classes.
January - February 2025

Online & In-Person at The Kingswood Estate, Bristol.

On this course, we are exploring portraits at a more leisurely pace. We will create one portrait over two sessions (three over six weeks).

This time, I am encouraging you to BYOP (Bring Your Own Portrait). Use the time, guidance and materials carved out for you to practice a self-portrait (Perhaps Portrait Artist of The Year awaits you!) or create a portrait of a friend or family member. If you are a complete Beginner, or BYOP does not appeal, I will have differentiated reference images for you to choose from, including the portrait image I will use for my Guides and Demonstrations.
