September and a great mornings adventure for all sketching, painting and drawing along the shoreline of Bassenthwaite Lake near Higham Hall |
It's been a pretty busy Summer season for teaching and painting again this year for lots of different art courses far and wide.
Some really exciting paintings have been created on all the different art courses by the students I've had the pleasure to teach, non less than those who have filled my classes at Higham Hall too.
Our carefully designed creative program allows students of mixed levels of ability to enjoy both studio and outdoor painting experiences in wonderful inspirational Lakeland locations - be they close to Higham Hall itself close to Keswick or a little further afield venturing a little deeper into the unspoilt regions of The Western Fells.

A further example of the importance of being out there amongst it'. Superb sunlight and shadows giving a really dramatic effect in this mixed media painting. Another successful painting - well done! |
In July I took a group of 7 students to the shores of Buttermere and later in the week to the quiet village of Grange in Borrowdale to sketch, draw and paint as part of an exciting art week using mixed media in lots of expressive ways.

Christine's beautiful and colourful stylised outdoor watercolour painting - it positively glows! |
The outdoor experience at the beginning of the week payed dividends with everyone's work for the rest of the course. Direct contact with nature gave everyone a real insight into the ethos of what the course was about and the results speak for themselves.

These paintings look so beautiful! I really wish to learn to paint too. But I think your classes are for advanced level. Do you guys hold basic classes too?
ReplyDeleteHello,
Deletethanks for your interest and comments. If you are a beginner you may be interested to know that Higham Hall also do beginners courses created by other artists, but not me I'm afraid!.
If you have a look at their recently issued brochure for the next season art courses perhaps there may be something there for you to suit your level and subject.
Please visit http://highamhall.com/ for further information.
Thanks again,
Robert
