This course comprises a total of 10 guided learning hours of theory and practice. Students will research and create images using sketchbooks, photographs and internet sources and then identify the importance and relationship between drawing to painting. You will select, transfer and scale your images using a traditional method, examine the qualities of acrylic paints and how to use them effectively and produce an individual colour and tonal palette appropriate to your subject matter. Students will then experiment with mixing, blending, application methods and techniques; and test the difference between brush and painting knife styles in order to create a least two paintings of substantial quality. Students will then examine and discuss the nature and range of landscape painters through some historical periods i.e. French Impressionism.
