Working from black and white images we will be creating our own colours from a range of mediums, realistic and unrealistic showing the importance of light and shade when drawing and painting, not colour matching. Enjoy this relaxing Mon -Fri course within the lovely surrounding of Flatford Mill.

Before You Attend
What to Bring
The materials recommended are the minimum quality I would suggest from my own experience, I do not work for any of the companies mentioned. But over the years have found their products to do what they say on the tin:
- Sketch book and 2B and 6B pencil
- Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylics 60ml tubes
(Cobalt Blue Hue, Deep turquoise, Prussian Blue hue, cadmium Red, Permanent Rose, cadmium yellow pale, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Titanium White) - Pastel set of 12 colours including light and dark shades
- Mixing palette paper, wood or glass or lidded stay wet
- Acrylic Paper (Canson)
- Long Handled brushes are generally used with oils and Acrylics as it allows you to make a lighter mark.
- Long Flat size 12 and 8. Round 2. Rigger size 0 (I recommend Rosemary & Co Brushes - their Ivory range is a good synthetic brush, easy to clean and maintains it shape. These are handmade in Yorkshire and if looked after will last a life time. If you wish to buy another make have a look at the size chart on the rosemary and co website as sizes are not the same between makes).
- Old newspaper and towels for cleaning.
- Apron or coverall to protect clothing
