This BEGINNERS/STARTER WEEKEND is all about technique, how the paint works, control of your brushes, the marks they make. What different techniques are needed for different effects. Composition, focal pointsaugust10th, tonal values etc EVERYTHING YOU NEED to start painting. Painting is not just about paint on canvas or paper - it's about concepts, ideas, colours, atmosphere, subjects etc but this first course is ESSENTIAL to start painting. Once you have learnt all the basics THEN you can move on to Stage 2 and start developing your ideas. Stage 3 will take you further and re-confirm all you need to be an individual painter.
