Daytime

The study of human anatomy is imperative to drawing – it helps us to understand the strength and structure of the human form. This course will cover the muscular and skeletal systems of the body as well as the torso, eyes, limbs, hands and feet. Students will work from life models and skeletons. George Donald is passionately interested in the study of anatomy and is considered a leading authority on the subject.

Five days of intensively working from the life model including some experimental techniques. If you are in the process of building a portfolio for A-levels/Foundation Art course or looking to generally improve your drawing and painting, this intensive week course is designed to guide you. It is open to all ages from 16+. The experienced tutor is there to support and advise you through the week to achieve finished works and/or works in progress that contribute toward your portfolio application. All levels including beginners are welcome.

This intensive short course, open to all, will set a scene, describe a mood and create a sense of poetic time and place. When Van Gogh paints the postman, Dr Gachet and his friends and acquaintances he gets to the heart of the matter quickly. You feel his presence and the personality, story and identity of the sitter. We get a clear idea of what it felt like to be alive then for he tells us so much about the people he paints. The paint is always radiant and fresh, sparkling with liveliness. Goya is another who captures the potency and freshness of the moment. In the spirit of Van Gogh, Kossoff and Auerbach we will make fast, lively paintings from our two clothed models.
