This Mixed Media course gives you the chance to explore and develop your skills in the different types of media and gives experience in a variety of areas.

On this course, students will engage in various approaches to making pieces of work.

Drawing from observation is part of the course, to inform development of visual language and to use this as an integral component of experimenting in other areas such as use of watercolour and mixed/water-based media.

Reference to both traditional and contemporary art is an essential part of the course.
This course will help the student to develop ways of working which will allow them to bring their ideas to fruition. x

Relating to set projects within the course structure, we will look at different ways of drawing such as Tonal, Composition, Linear & Mark-Making.

You will also explore ways of developing different media, or your own choice of media, these include Acrylic, Oil, Watercolour & mixed media such as collage.

These can be explored together within a piece or separately. A development of independent thought and progression is encouraged.

Prospective students should note, while use of watercolour is part of the course, this is not specifically a watercolour course.

Beginners wishing to concentrate on watercolour ‘Techniques’ are advised to enrol on to one of the watercolour courses available at Sutton College.
This course is open to students who have had previous Drawing & Painting experience and anyone wanting to develop their studies in the Fine Art sphere.

The most important thing is to come to class with an open attitude to learning, and that learning is an accumulative process over time with consistent attendance.
