A day of colour matching and playing with images from magazines.

We've had a wonderful day using scraps and part-images from magazines to create extended versions of the original. Working with these magazine sections today gave my students the opportunity to work through the watercolour process in small areas and think about how a complete painting might work. We also talked a little about colour matching and the way to vary the tone of a certain colour (by adding water to the paint to lighten the tone).


As ever, some of my students came with great projects they'd been working on from home - It was a lovely studious day all round!

About this site...
 
I am an art teacher living and working in Dorset.  I have taught for the Adult Education Service and the University of Bath, plus some supply teaching in my local schools but now I run my courses privately. This site is intended as an addition to my teaching, primarily now to showcase the Sunday workshops I run.
 
All lessons are also available for any one anywhere who would like some ideas on what to teach, what to learn or is just interested in seeing what we do.
 
I'm afraid I won't be able to answer emails asking for comments on anyone's work (other than for currently enrolled students).
 
I run Sunday workshops, one every month and a short summer school.. Other than that I spend every available moment in my studio or drawing and painting elsewhere.
 
I studied for four years at The Slade School of Fine Art where I was awarded The Slade Prize on graduation. I went on to travel and study further finally doing a P.G.C.E at Exeter University with Ted Wragg as my mentor. It was a wonderful year of education which set me in good stead for my years of teaching since then.
