Drawing & Painting

This course will help the student to develop ways of working which will allow them to bring their ideas to fruition. 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, sometimes printmaking. These can be explored together within a piece or separately.

A development of independent thought and progression is encouraged.

NB. 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 one of the watercolour courses available at Sutton College.

This course is open to all levels.

This course is open to 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.
