Upcoming Courses

STILL LIFE

Contemporary Painting with Charles Harrison

A 6 week Painting Project investigating the painterly medium and its creative implications.

11th November to 16th December

Contemporary Painting with Charles Harrison is perfect for anyone wanting to learn about and create work of a high standard and is a basic alternative to studying at University or doing a Foundation course. During this six week project you will gain a number of new skills through both practical and theoretical application.

Charles Harrison is a young artist based in Lincolnshire, who has found success early in his career for his paintings – which utilise a number of painterly techniques to achieve rich effects in colour, form and mark-making.

The 6 workshops are aimed at engaging and improving painterly work for artists of any level of experience, and this project will focus in particular on Still Life, its histories, its common focus, and its importance / relevance to contemporary art practice

This course will allow you to work in a relaxed and professional environment that affords opportunities to discover your own creative ideas and also gain experience in contemporary painting practices, leading to your own individual exploration or progression to higher education. More than anything, you will learn how to create extraordinary effects in paint, whilst also learning about the historical and present contexts of the medium.

If you are interested in this course, or would like more information, please contact Jo Dobbs

Charlie Harrison finds Success in London!

 

Our Resident artist and Tuesday group tutor exhibited at London's Prestigious Affordable Art Fair, where he went down a storm, selling all 12 pieces of his work!Following the fair, Charlie commented,

"It's been absolutely unbelievable - talking to some of the buyers, seeing their reactions and appreciation for my work was an amazing experience. It's a bit surreal thinking that I've got paintings hanging on walls around Europe when they were just sitting in the corner of my studio a couple of weeks ago."

 

His work was exhibited again on 16th May in Bristol and Charles has an exhibition in Amsterdam in November 2008.
