Fundamentals Of Painting / Workshop One: TONE

This workshop on TONE, covered over two Tuesday afternoons, is the first in a series of four Bite Sized Workshops on the Fundamentals of Painting. Participants can sign up for just the one, any or all four. Bookings for each workshop will need to be made separately.

In this workshop on tone, participants will learn how to use traditional tonal concepts to paint a portrait or figure as a painting in itself or as a base for colour work (under-painting).

Tutor: Damien Kurth
Where: The Artery

Basic starting materials are supplied, with advice on additional painting products as you go. Participants are welcome to bring your own paints and brushes.

Tea and Coffee supplied. Café down the main street of the Historic Village will be open for snack and other refreshments.

This four-part series covers the fundamentals of painting and is open to participants of all levels of experience, aged 13 and over. The techniques Damien will share can be applied to many painting media including oil and acrylic.  Participants will progress to use these ideas to develop believable 3d forms on a 2d surface.

Be inspired and motivated by both Damien and fellow participants while producing practical results in your own artworks. Learn new techniques every week to build on your existing skills or start from scratch in our chilled and creative environment here at The Artery. This course concludes with an optional Full Day Painting from Life Workshop.
