OUR COURSES
ANN HULME
DRAWING AND PAINTING
Art is inspiring; to be able to render form, to give shape to ideas, to bring into existence the illusion of reality through painting and drawing seems like magic. Some part of it is magic, but the rest can be taught. The basic approach to it all, to seeing, is applying relative measurement, learning perspective, foreshortening and handling space, and this is what we shall be applying on these courses. Working with colour follows from basic drawing. Painting on these courses can be in watercolour, acrylics or oil paint. Remember it is all to enjoy. There are stages as in everything and you can make good progress in a short space of time if you apply the basic formal elements.
