Swellendam Winter School - Beginners Art Workshop
Mon Jul 22, 14:00 - Fri Jul 26, 12:00
Wildebraam Berry Farm
ABOUT
An opportunity for first time and novice artists to paint and learn new techniques in a relaxed, no-pressure environment under the guidance of an experienced artist.
22 July – 26 July
John believes that we can all learn the skills required to paint and draw. It is not a natural endowment nor a special knack you simply have or do not have. This beginners art workshop will help you learn the artistic skills and principles for producing your own painting, from setting up, drawing, values, edges, colour and light, composition and technique. The primary aim of the course is not to teach participants to be this or that kind of artist, but to share basic universal techniques that will help them on their own chosen path as artists. We will focus on representational art – to paint what you see and experience.
At the end of the workshop you would’ve completed one or more paintings and leave empowered to continue your artistic endeavours.
