Drawing & Painting

This course consists of two main components, pencil drawing, and oil painting technique. Pencil drawing provides a more direct and intimate link to an artist’s creative process than painting. The ability to draw is the basis of all art; no one can paint or create without a good knowledge of pencil drawing. Jivan will show you how to draw in pencil, from a simple line to portraits and figure studies. This course is suitable for all abilities, both beginners and the more experienced artists and designers who wish to improve their drawing skills. Once you understand how to draw, you are ready to move on to painting. An accomplished oil painter, Jivan will guide you step by step, showing you a variety of techniques (composition, textures, colour-mixing) to develop your painting ability and enable you to express your ideas to create beautiful works of art.

Drawing from life or ‘observation’ drawing involves seeing more precisely and more directly in order to translate a 3D environment onto the surface of our paper.

Watercolour: The chief characteristic of watercolour is its transparency and in ‘pure’ watercolour painting this is exploited to the full. Unlike the painter in oils who can lay lighter paint over dark tones, the water colourist must work through from the lightest tones to the darkest. It is the transparent pigment, which gives pictures in watercolour the brilliance and sparkle which sets them apart from other styles of painting. Under the guidance of a professionally qualified art tutor, students will learn various basic watercolour painting techniques, an understanding of the newly introduced medium and how it’s different from different mediums, light and dark tones to perspective, wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques and introduction to new mediums within watercolour like gauche. Oils & Acrylics: This course will allow students both new to art or more experienced to express themselves in less conventional or restrictive forms. Art can take many forms of expression and this course will allow students to express themselves in any abstract form using acrylic paint or oil paint in a variety of ways to create different effects. These effects can then be enhanced and textured using natural materials such as charcoal and sand.
