A follow up course to Painting for Beginners, Painting II takes students to the next step making a close study of a self-chosen Master Painting. Because painting is a multi-layered, complicated process it’s of high value to analyse and study a master painting.

With this approach the tone and structure of the painting is fairly easy to emulate and then more time can be spent focussing on colour and brushwork which is what we consider the heart and soul of a painting especially when heightened with a solid, logical underlying structure.
Students can select an artist and together we nut out how the painting was constructed, the brushwork and colour mixes. Students can use acrylic and/or oil paint.
