Acclaimed artist Clare Haward?s work appears in galleries around the country and many private collections. Her quixotic approach to painting confounded the presenters on the recent Sky Landscape Artist of the year for which she was selected. Her approach is rigorous and sensual, sensitive to colour and composition, edge and tone. Clare is acutely aesthetic with an exquisite colour sense and best of all she?s a fine communicator.

You will:

*Aquire the skills to paint the human figure or still life in natural colour

*Learn about oil paint ? colour mixing and application

*Work alongside Clare in the proven ?studio school? system

Squint, step back and think abstractly. This six-week class will look at colour, light and shade and abstraction to create vibrant figurative paintings from the live model. You will be encouraged to think about composition, colour value, edge quality, abstraction, geometry, paint mixing and application, using a direct method of oil painting. Each week will bring a new pose and we will work on the ?premier coup? ? ?one shot? painting.

Clare will talk and demonstrate and then support us as we paint the model ourselves. She will paint alongside us making it easy to observe and ask questions, this is the strength of the studio school.

Each class will run from 10.00am until 4pm with a half hour break for lunch. We have modestly priced light lunches, coffee, tea and biscuits available.

Over the six weeks of the course complete beginners will learn how to block out a painting, how to mix colours, how to look for the important formal qualities that excite us along with all the general housekeeping of the paintbox.

More experienced artists will refine their approach learning how to see in a more sophisticated way and to produce finished works that reflect most completely what has been seen.

If you?d like to talk to Clare about any aspect of this course please email her directly on [email protected] or ring the Dulwich Art Group on 0770 4450 169
