| DRAWING AND PAINTING PORTRAITS IN WATERCOLOUR AND ACRYLICS
|
Ref: A1268 |
| Hazel Lale is a professional artist, illustrator and teacher whose work is widely exhibited |

Enabling you to see all of the work will help you to use colours that will enliven the subject and make it memorable. All you need is a willingness to try new ways of looking and understanding. |

| abstract painting
|
Ref: A1272 |
| John Lowry is a professional painter and gallery owner |
|
| Abstraction is not limited to any one medium, or to subject matter, it’s a mental approach to all things creative. It involves the imagination and a fresh outlook on the world. It’s an exciting opposite to ‘just copying what’s there’, yet the rules of composition, colour relationships, visual rhythm and so on that we all know about are exactly the same. After this course your approach to art will be very different. We will produce a portfolio of at least one painting to be proud of, each day, mainly working in the studio. Any medium, an open mind and a sense of humour! |

| AFTER MATISSE AND CEZANNE ~ pastel and paint into Still Life
|
Ref: A1278 |
| Patrick Oates is a figurative fine artist and art historian with many years’ experience in Higher Education |
|
| To develop an understanding of the quiet effects of light, shade, colour and texture in Still Life pastel painting, we will explore the works of Matisse and Cezanne. By working systematically through the skills of observation, and experimenting with the subtle techniques of pastel and gouache, we will invoke a better personal working practice. This course is a superb opportunity to develop traditional Still Life themes in a highly original but expressive way within a structured series of exercises, with Patrick introducing both contemporary and traditional ways of working. This course is very suitable for beginners. |

|
Ref: A1280 |
| Martin Greenland was a first-prize winner in the John Moore’s Exhibition of Contemporary Painting and is a painter and tutor of many years’ experience. |
|
| The approach is intended to be quite free and relaxing and will appeal to experienced painters in oil as well as beginners. There will be tutor demonstrations and individual advice and guidance. We will aim to use Higham’s parkland landscape to study form and especially colour in all its Autumn complementary contrasts using the rich and diverse medium of oil. |

| LIFE PAINTING
|
Ref: A1283 |
| Mike Fennell is a professional artist and tutor who exhibits his work throughout the UK |
|
| Figure painting has always been an essential part of the classical tradition. With an experienced tutor, students will learn the importance of colour relationships, unity and harmony and limited colour schemes when painting the nude. Techniques of rapidity and diligence will be encouraged in short and long sessions. The tutor offers patient individual and group tuition. All colour mediums are suitable though it is important that you are familiar with the medium you choose. Some experience of painting and drawing the nude is essential. |

| PASTEL PAINTING
|
Ref: A1292 |
| Graham Oliver owns a gallery specialising in pastel paintings and has exhibited with the Pastel Society |
|
| This course is for beginners and those with more experience. We will be working in the studio, and the grounds of Higham Hall, from landscape and still life subjects, designed to teach particular skills. The elements of successful picture making will be evaluated including composition, colour, tone and mark making and the tutor will give demonstrations and lots of individual attention to illustrate these. Pastel is a remarkably generous medium because the colours are premixed, and corrections can easily be made to find the best solution. |

| LANDSCAPES OF RIVER AND HILL ~ THE DERWENT IN AUTUMN
|
Ref: A1296 |
| Lionel Playford is professional landscape painter with many years’ experience teaching art |
|
| The Lake District offers many a picturesque view of a river framed by dramatic or melodic fells, but can you create a painting that betters the tourist brochure cliché? The answer lies in looking afresh at the landscape by making a series of sketches on location and transforming these into a painting with feeling and originality back in the studio. Lionel will offer guidance in composition, colour and technique to help you achieve this lofty aim and to steer you away from some of the pitfalls of the picturesque. Open to all levels of ability in the medium of your choice. |

|
Ref: A1303 |
| Linda Birch is an established artist and tutor with a background in book illustration and painting |
