WATERCOLOUR ARTIST STUDIES DRAWING ACRYLIC
NEW ART COURSES AND ART DAYS
I am coming to the end of this terms courses with my last class on Friday morning. It’s been a great term, with many students making new friends whilst creating artwork they are proud as they have discovered new ways to use art materials or think through an artistic project.
This term might be ending, but I still have arts activities carrying on over the summer.
Why not treat yourself to a day sketching or painting outdoors with expert tuition. August is the ideal time of year to try your hand at working outdoors. With six locations to choose from, with art days happening on various days of the week, it should be easy to find a time that fits into your schedule.

NEW ART COURSES
This is the last week of this terms long courses. The students have made real progress and created some wonderful work!
If you are looking for a new art course starting in September then take a look in the courses section of the site.
Here is just one example of the inspirational courses on offer:
To build an artists confidence with handling paint they will often push themselves to paint with larger brushes than they would normally feel comfortable using. As they explore using bolder, larger brush strokes the stylistic feel of their art changes and they begin to see how to simplify and unify sections of a image with daring large brush strokes. This course guides students through this process to help them to paint with more daring and greater confidence.
New summer Sketching & Painting Days
Why not treat yourself to a day sketching or painting at Craster on August 5th.

Why not tune your cross hatching drawing skills?
I am running a four week drawing course starting on the 30th of April in Jesmond on a Tuesday afternoon. This course aims to help both beginners and those with a little experience of drawing push their drawing skills forward through a deeper understanding of the techniques, value and uses of cross hatching. So why not work on your drawing for a few weeks. It can only increase your skills and dexterity as an artist.
New courses for the summer term
Some of the courses I will be offering after Easter are now up on the site. You can book your place on one of the great courses.
Higham Hall Seascape course
Here is a selection of the work produced by my talented learners at Higham Hall, just before Christmas. I was delighted with their progress and ability to adapt to methods that were quite new to them for painting seas, beaches and mountains.
I am running a similar course in June 2019 at Higham Hall. Look at their website for further details.
Van Gogh course
Two new courses are on offer where Jason shows you how to paint in the style of Monet and Sargent. Here are some examples of students work created on the Van Gogh course I ran before Christmas. Perhaps these will inspire you to pick up a brush and try your hand at painting in the style of Monet or Sargent with Jasons help and guidance.
