New Tutor for Term 4

We are very pleased to welcome a new tutor for our Saturday afternoon classes. She will replace Tessa who has left us because she was just too busy to continue.

Our new tutor is Marloes Bakker-Marsden. Marloes is an experienced tutor across all media so everyone can enjoy her class. She works a lot in pen and ink and has produced some wonderful wildlife drawings. She is equally at home in oil, acrylic and watercolour, and has recently been using scratchboard with excellent results.

Come along and enjoy painting and drawing with Marloes. Link in bio.

Develop your skills in the many ways to interpret the joy of spring flowers and foliage using colour, composition, style, media, realism, abstraction, abundance and minimalism.

In these classes we will touch on the fundamental principles of traditional realist painting such as composition, tonal relationships and the importance of edges to add to the illusion of depth.
We will also look at colour and temperature in general and as they apply in various situations.

Working from life (i.e. still life, cast, portrait etc) a direct method of painting will be encouraged that requires little in the way of drawing skills. Rather we will focus on the broad mass and then the gradual building up of the painting as the various elements are refined.

Learning to see in a “painterly way” is an important skill which gives the student’s work greater authority and a more convincing likeness to the subject.

Be guided by your tutor to paint a still life or portrait, learning how to begin, build on and refine your painting usually in 3 week blocks using oil or pastel in the traditional realist style.
