Adults Art class. Painting From Memory And Imagination. 3 - Weeks Monday Evenings October 2025
Tutor: Sam Gimson
This course will ease students into the daunting prospect of making artwork from imagination. Each lesson will involve different exercises designed to encourage students to veer away from the motif (a still life or a landscape etc.) and to finish their pictures off without the source material. Students will be encouraged to create their own compositions, based on photographic references, but to add to them and alter them.
Without having to work so strictly from observation, we are free to idealise and to bring our creativity to the fore. This course should be a gradual process of comfortably wading out into the deep end of this subject. By the final lesson, it may be possible to make a painting without recourse to any reference material. This course will be especially well suited to anyone who enjoyed our Paint Like a Modernist series in June 2025.
All artist-quality materials are included in the price of the classes.
Tea, coffee and biscuits are also provided.
