Autumn Colours – Mixed Mediums.
This 10-week course is based on using familiar mediums but taking our inspiration from the abundance of colour surrounding us in the autumn months. Sometimes we will spend two weeks working with one medium, allowing us time to complete work in a more relaxed way and develop techniques whilst improving our understanding of what is achievable with each. Other times we will have one week exploring a medium and experimenting with new techniques.
This course would follow on as an extension to previous attendees to Cora’s courses but also suits new students wishing to ‘have a go’ with some art materials in a fun and relaxed environment.
Fees include use of all basic art materials. Please bring along an A3 sketchpad; we won’t use it all the time, but it is a useful place to store all your work.
A £3.00 contribution towards refreshments is requested. There will also be an additional fee for a stretched canvass for weekS 5, 6 & 7 dependent on size of canvass or students can source their own.
