Monday to Friday
Identify the three fundamental parts of colour, hue, saturation and value and learn how to
manipulate them, to increase your sensitivity to colour. We will start on exercises and studies
from still life, and using acrylic paints, will focus primarily on the mutual interplay between
colours, later developing an 'in depth' piece, from still life and/or landscape sketches and photos.
There will be plenty of opportunity to build on skills and understanding you already have, and to make
either 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 paints, although
as the week progresses there will be an option to use other media.

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.
