Use of colour, application of marks, surface texture and balance of composition will be explored to convey a sense of mood of the environment. This course is suitable for beginners as well as those with experience and our objective is to improve your technique, regardless of your starting point.
Classes of eight to twelve people will be guided by Lisa Jayne & Luke Skiffington within a very relaxing, holiday atmosphere. Whilst classes are structured at the beginning of each day, 9.30am, individuals will be encouraged to work as their mood and schedule suits them until 4.30pm. The five day course of painting & drawing allows plenty of time both to learn and to practice a number of subject areas.
You can work in a medium you are familiar with, or try something new and Lisa Jayne or Luke will be willing to help you decide what is best for you. The course timetable runs from Sunday to Friday with one optional day to visit the local gallery, Art Galleria (www.artealgarve.net) and FIESA - International Sand Sculpture (www.fiesa.org).
