There are two types of courses offered: SINGLE DAY TUTORIALS in PAINTING and DRAWING for beginners or for intermediate to experienced artists. and courses in MAKING AN ARTIST'S BOOK. THE MAKING THE ARTIST'S BOOK course uses the surrounding landscape as a starting point, in particular one's personal experience of being in the landscape. We will start by sketching and gathering visual and sensory information. Noelle will demonstrate how to make a variety of different types of book, with each student making their own one-off book using drawing, painting and handwritten or digitally printed text. SINGLE DAY TUTORIALS IN PAINTING AND DRAWING can be arranged for a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 students, concurrent single day tutorials can be arranged with B&B. For beginners: Noelle will teach and demonstrate ways to look, sketch and gather visual information with an emphasis on acquiring observational skills. For intermediate to more experienced artists: Noelle will teach how to improve existing skills, and develop a programme of tuition to help develop your strengths and direction of your painting. You will be asked to bring 3 pieces of work so we can discuss your work and how you might like it to develop.Guide / Holiday Course Tutor
