'Colour, the Fundamentals - A Painting Workshop'
with Jane Strother.

Monday to Friday

Identify the three fundamental parts of colour – hue, saturation and value, learning how to manipulate them to increase your sensitivity to colour. We will start by working on exercises and studies from still life, later developing an ‘in depth’ piece, working from still life/ landscape/ sketches and photographs. There will be plenty of opportunity to build on skills and understanding you already have and to make representational or more abstracted work. The aim is to enjoy the process of making the decisions, the research and the unpicking as well as the building of ideas. You will need acrylic paint although as the week progresses there will be an option to use other media. There will be a £2 materials charge – all other requirements will be on the ‘to bring’ list.
JANE STROTHER studied painting at Bath Academy of Art and has worked as a painter, illustrator, printmaker and teacher. Today she works from her studio in Oxford and in spite of the distance from the sea, the coast is a frequent subject, with the aim of conveying the mood at a time of day or season by her use of colour. She teaches widely, privately and for the local authority, and to all ages, and enjoys the interaction between it and her own practice.

Course Cost for 5 days £165.
There will be a £2 materials charge - all other requirements will be on the 'to bring' list.
