Inject your practise with inspiration, try new approaches and materials such as resin and encaustic, and as part of an artist’s community participate in a discourse about contemporary painting while grounding methods and ideas in your own experience.

Course Timetable
  • January Term: 12 Jan to 23 Mar 2021 – Half Term 16 February
  • April Term: 20 April to 29 Jun 2021 – Half Term 25 May

The course is designed for those with prior experience of painting. You may be self-taught or you may even have been to art school. With painting these distinctions no longer hold. Many artists who have been to art school in recent years would like to paint but were not given the technical and/or intellectual support to do so and would therefore turn to other mediums. However once taken by the desire to paint it is hard to shake off. If you are in this category The Painting Year will provide you with what you need to learn about, practise and develop your painting. You will be given stimulating looking, watching and reading lists and at the end of course invited to attend and participate in the End of Year Student Exhibition.
