Art Classes (for adults)

Friendly atmosphere - helpful and constructive teaching

At Painting for Pleasure art classes you will be encouraged to improve your skills and develop your own individual style in a warm and informal setting. Everyone is catered for individually within the group. Draw and paint from a variety of subjects/objects including still life, costume model, life model, portrait and landscape. Learn about line, colour, texture, form, shape and movement. You'll be part of a group of encouraging, friendly people - all levels welcome!

Enjoy experimenting with watercolours, oils, pastels, acrylics, charcoal, chalk, pen and ink, coloured pencils, gouache.

On your first day all you need is a sketch pad and a few pencils.
Classes last for two and a half hours once per week. There are 2 options to choose from - Tuesday morning and Thursday morning. Life Drawing and General Painting Classes. The Tuesday morning sessions are Life Drawing and Painting classes for people with some drawing experience.

Work will be mainly from the nude model, but there will be a few sessions from a clothed model as well as portrait. Both short and long poses will be offered.
Life-drawing classes provide an ideal opportunity to develop your skills through direct observation of the human figure. View the enrolment schedule to find out more.

Short Courses

The Short Courses vary but will usually be for three or four days, either working from the model or outside concentrating on landscape using nearby attractive venues such as Trent Park, Myddelton Gardens, Kenwood.

For the coming Autumn Term 2007, there will be a short course lasting four days which is being run in association with Ulster University and this will be focussed on painting/drawing/textiles. The numbers will have to be quite limited due to space in an exciting and very well-eqguipped department of Textiles.

The course will be run by Ros Morley together with Trisha Belford who is a Senior Fellow at the University in Northern Ireland. Trisha also runs short courses for the Royal College of Art, London. This is the first in a new direction of short courses. Prospective students for this course will need to have had some drawing/painting experience and this is an ideal chance for those considering going on to further or higher education in Art and Design or exploring new techniques in Textiles.
