Suitable for th ose with some painting experienece.\n\nProgram\nThese painting courses are open to one and all\, from beginner to seasoned pro and are based on conv eying an understanding of the painting process\, not on steering you towar ds a particular style\, a methodology based on the observation that reason ing and hard work\, not alchemy and talent\, are at the core of all great painting.\nThrough demonstration\, explanation and technical exercises we will cover a number of painting fundamentals using a broad-based approach to the mechanics of painting in oils.\n\n"A man paints with his brains\, n ot with his hands." Michaelangelo\n"When I attended art school and later t eaching at Foundation and Degree level\, the methodology commonly employed was to avoid teaching anything tangible for fear that it would inhibit cr eativity. ‘Express yourself’ I would often hear as a student which lef t most of us rather bemused and later as an educator\, frustration at the lack of ability from staff to actually teach something to the students.Thi s course gives me the opportunity to address this by providing skill based learning in order to deepen the understanding and applications of the vis ual language that surrounds us."\n\nThe first five weeks of the oil painti ng program includes:\nThe Munsell system and the importance of neutral gre y.\nMaterials &\; Mediums (understanding paint and your palette).\nThe sphere\, the cone\, the cylinder and the cube (still-life study).\nAlla pr ima.\nWhat is Contemporary Realism? (The importance of skill and invention ).\n\nThe second five weeks will be set aside for you to realise your own personal project. This will give you the opportunity to use your imaginati on and develop those inventive processes alongside traditional and contemp orary techniques learned earlier in the course. You will make art as an ar tist does and develop your project from its conceptual beginning to its ph ysical end. The course will help you develop a deeper understanding of art and how as practitioners we think and realise work.\n\nTutor: Richard Mea ghan\nProfessional artist Richard is currently based in a studio at Metal in Liverpool.
