Impressions of Impressionism with Clare McComish


Wednesday 17th January – Wednesday 21st February

6 weeks

6pm – 8pm

£55

Materials included.

We are delighted to have Clare McComish return with a beautiful cross discipline course, her relaxing introduction to Impressionism, acrylic painting, and felting.

Week 1: This will entail a pocket history of Impressionism and Claude Monet.

You will learn how to colour mix, colour theory and experimenting with colour in acrylic paint on multi-use paper.

Week 2: You will be given some samples of images and compositions to paint at the beginning of the session or to use your own. This session will concentrate on building up background colours in acrylic paint.

Week 3: Building in the details of composition and finessing the painting.

Week 4: Taking inspiration from the painting you have created the course will turn to 2D needle felting and begin to reimagine the painting in felt.

Week 5: The felting will continue adding details to your artwork.

Week 6: This week can be spent either finishing off artworks, or if they are completed, trying out still life sketches in chalk pastels.
