This course focuses on developing a piece of work from initial sketches made outdoors to a painting completed in the studio. Students are welcome to work at their own pace with support and feedback from Alex as needed, or follow a structured plan with additional guidance and instruction which breaks down the process into easy, bite-size stages. Start with a walk around Higham where you will begin to make drawings from nature, then spend time developing your sketches into a mixed media piece in the studio using acrylic paints and pastels to be hung on your wall when you return home.
