Programme
This one-day session is packed with valuable artistic knowledge and technical insights such as:
· Analysing your wall, measuring and planning
· Using photography and Photoshop to experiment with colours and produce visual references
· Breaking down your vision into realistic stages (form, negative space, colour, detail)
· Types of paint and varnish (with physical examples)
· Ways of scaling up your design (with visual examples and demonstration)
Madeleine will also give useful advice and tips about leading a community project, including:
· How to put together a school workshop to transfer to the mural
· “Consulting” local people and involving them
· Working with children and letting them be involved but safe
· Building your team and delegating tasks to volunteers
Other practical points:
· Operating powered access machines: what to expect
· Building a security area around your working space
· Organising your equipment/paints/tools
There will be time for participants to respond, ask questions and network.
Please note: this session is for experienced artists who already have good drawing and painting skills, and who do not have a problem with working at height.

Cancellations / Refunds
Once you have made your course booking you are committed to it. This is because our courses have very small student numbers, and often sell-out and are unavailable to others. Therefore any cancellations may result in a place not being filled, or a course not being able to run.
Cancellations are permitted up to 30 days before the start of a course, and a full refund will be issued. Refunds will not be made for cancellations less than 30 days before the start of a course. If you are unable to attend due to illness, personal or professional commitments you do not have the right to a refund.
If you wish to cancel your place on a course that has not yet started and you have a friend or colleague who can take your place we can accommodate this substitution.
