Creating Vivid Compositions – Course Access Page

Develop your drawing and painting confidence with our five-week painting program. Within every fine painting is a dimension or element which resonates somewhere in the subconscious. The brain then works it’s magic and that may be why some images affect us more than others. I’ll be focusing on common elements and ideas in painting with examples in all media, be it watercolour, acrylic or oil.

Follow our weekly program for exercises, explanations, examples, video demos, and art appreciation comments. Alternatively, access and participate on your own schedule – wherever you are! Every week, participants receive a feature lesson and can submit their week’s work for review. These reviews may be tied to the lesson plan or equally, the result of their independent endeavours – should you be a returning participant, you will find new ideas to help develop your art!
