SPRING TERM MODULES.

Introduction to Acrylics with Jane Strother

Friday afternoons, 1pm-3pm, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th January, 6th February 2026.

The colour mixing skills aquired in the previous module will be revised and extended for acrylic painting. You will experiment with different brushes, palette knives and other implements while discovering the versatility of the paint. This will include beginning a painting, overlaying colour, mark-making (such as dry brushing or sgraffito) and the use of translucent and opaque colour. The sessions will take the form of simple exercises before application to a subject such as a still-life, or something from your own imagination.

Introduction to Watercolour with Susan Neale

Friday afternoons, 1pm-3pm, 13th, 27th February, 6th, 13th, 20th March 2026.

Over these 5 weeks you can study fundamental techniques in painting with watercolour. Students follow clear instructions in step-by-step paint-along sessions and all questions regarding materials, equipment and technique are answered. The result is understanding, exploiting, directing and controlling the medium in a sensitive and informed manner.
