Bookings are now being taken at Barnoldswick Library for Monday afternoon Painting classes in June. Moving a little further from home the June program is a Welsh Odyssey and is based around material collected in North Wales and features painting with mediums associated with watercolour. It starts on Monday the 2nd of June at 1pm with a session painting a seascape featuring a beached keel boat at Rhosneigr on the west coast of Anglesey using traditional watercolour techniques. The following week the subject is a watercolour of Portmeirion, the Italian style village built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975. The class on the 16th of June is a pencil drawing of an abandoned cottage (very Hansel and Gretel) deep in the Gwydir Forest, draped in moss and ferns, called “Rhiw-gri” which once drawn will be tinted in using Derwent water-soluble graphite. The fourth session of the month features a stormy sunset over the Snowdon Horseshoe, very atmospheric with a pink sky using watercolour and charcoal. The final session for the month on the 30th June is a rocky beach scene in gouache featuring a view of Criccieth Castle as seen across the bay from Black Rock Sands.
The cost is £9.50 per half day session and includes all materials needed to complete the painting - just come, sit down and paint. To book just call into Barnoldswick Library or contact Malcolm on 07776036674 or just turn up as there is usually an extra place set. see www.malcolmmbullock.co.uk/articles for further information. You can also follow what is going on at www.facebook.com/malcolm.painting.classes
Due to the nature of the classes the painting sessions are suitable for both the Beginner (some people have not painted since school) and the improver (those who wish to hone their existing painting skills). In each class I will demonstrate how to paint an effective scene in watercolour or acrylic. There is also the occasional session where the painting is done in line and wash, pastel or even oils (oils is usually a full day session). The sessions usually take place on Monday afternoons from 1-3pm but occasionally switch to Wednesday mornings when there is a bank holiday. If the session warrants it we take a full day but there is usually a half day option providing there is space.
Course Fee - £9.50p/afternoon session - This includes all art materials as well as the loan of brushes etc
The sessions feature a paint- along where the participants will start and finish the painting within the session. The techniques used to produce the painting will follow a step by step approach. This method of teaching allows the individual to quickly develop confidence in using the paints. Skills are also built up through the explanation of the various techniques used in painting the scene as well as the theory, such as composition and colour theory, that goes with it. The development of a personal style of painting is encouraged through individual assessment at various stages of the painting. No one paints exactly the same, we are all unique.
Booking is preferable as course numbers will be kept small to ensure individual attention. I do usually set an extra place or two so it is also possible to turn up on the day.
Booking can be taken at the information counter at the library or call, text (07776036674) or contact me via the "contact me" page of this website and I will pass the booking on to the library.
