Drawing and Painting at the Mill

A six week art course with Wendy J. Allen at the Mill Tye Gallery and Arts Centre. Dates: Takes place every week on a Thursday  from March 26th to April 30th (a total of 6 sessions) Time: 9:30 am - 12:30 pm This is a class for those who have attended the Drawing and Painting Level 1 class or who have recent experience of painting and would like to explore drawing and painting further. While you are welcome to enrol in the beginners' class more than once, if you feel you are ready to be stretched a little more, this is the class for you.  We will cover the following topics:

• investigate colour and tone in more depth
• take drawing skills to the next level.
• explore painting in layers
• using texture and mediums
• look more closely at how to compose a compelling image.

If you have a light-weight sketching easel, it would be good to bring it with you. Consider buying canvas boards or stretched canvases to work on, although paper is still acceptable. Be aware that some works may take more than one session to complete and may have to be transported wet. What to wear Comfortable clothing that you can move around in with ease. As some of the class could take place outside, please bring warm waterproof clothes and sensible footwear. Light refreshments will be available. Access The course takes place in the upper gallery which is not suitable for wheel chair access. Give this course as a gift This course can be purchased as a gift for a friend or family member.
