Acrylic Painting: Glazing and Collage Techniques

Led by Jo Hall

Glazing techniques historically used with oil paints can be much more rapidly achieved in acrylic. It is also very easy to incorporate collaged elements. This course explores ways to include collage and how to apply glazes to painted and collaged areas. Starting with some experimental exercises, over the six weeks we will go on to create works with a variety of subject matter; still life, landscape, building or interior.

Please bring your own materials and equipment and scroll down to find details of what to bring.

Heavy weight mixed media paper and small offcuts of mount board will be available from the tutor at cost.

Zen Drawing (online)

Led by Amanda Schenk

Amanda Schenk is the visual artist behind Norden Farm's much-loved (and Instagrammed) glass corridor artwork in the school holidays. Join Amanda for this new drawing course, aimed at helping to create a sense of calm and relaxation through drawing patterns.

Suitable for all abilities, the workshops will focus on building confidence in your drawing abilities - concentrating on the soothing journey of the drawing experience, rather than the finished drawing.

In each session you'll explore how to produce different types of patterns in abstract drawings - looking at different designs each week.

You will need: paper (plain, no smaller than A5), lead pencil, eraser, sharpener, black fine liner or a pen. Optional is a black marker.
