The Seasons Art Class Paignton

All big 'thank you' to all the students, family, friends and guests who joined us at our Summer Seasons Exhibition on Saturday 8th July. What a lovely sunny afternoon we had to enjoy the amazing art work created during the course - it really was a fitting finale.

Again, a big thank you to Julia, our tutor, for all her hard work.

Our final week of painting on the Summer course and we finished with The Continental Escape - country house and vintage car vibes. A scene fit for Agatha Christie herself! Good work everyone, this one took a lot of drawing.

It's our Exhibition next week - Saturday 18th July from 2 to 4pm at Bay Church Hall. All welcome :)

A challenging project this week at Seasons Art Class Paignton but wow! how our students rose to the challenge! Working in the style of Samira Addo, amazing A3 acrylic portraits were created using a palette of gorgeous summer colours. Fantastic work everyone! Very impressed :)

If you'd like to learn how to paint and draw, please message me!

Walkies! A wooftastic project this week at Seasons Art Class Paignton with a hint of cool water as we enjoyed painting pampered pooches playing in the sea. Lots of acrylic paint in use, with some choosing to use palette knives and bits of credit card to create texture and movement on the page. Great work everyone!

If you like the look of this and you're interested in joining us for the next Seasons course in the Autumn, drop me a message and I'll send the details 😊

A new swashbuckling adventure for the whole class this week Seasons Art Class Paignton with an acrylic piece worked on a gesso paper collage. Some fantastic effects and textures were achieved using old newspaper and class handouts. Really great work everyone!

Enjoy the pictures of the cooling water too, this may help stop you melting in the current weather!

A gorgeous whole class project this week Seasons Art Class Paignton - patio pots! The skill of building colour and layering the paint is key to this project, plus the laying down of shadows and the use of masking fluid to reserve areas. A lovely summer walk through the garden - a fitting end to our watercolour painting weeks! Good work everyone :)
Roll on acrylic painting - old clothes only!

Classes full of holiday inspired pieces this week at with a street scene and tram plus some delicious Amalfi lemons - gorgeous! The urban sketching saw watercolour paints worked with fine liner pen, which brought definition to an illustrative piece. The painterly technique of working layers of colour was demonstrated with the lemons. Great work everyone!

And, in the blink of an eye, we're already at week 6 and starting watercolour painting! A relaxed visit to sweeping vineyards for our improvers with a watercolour pencil study that created some fabulously plump grapes and gorgeous vistas. An introduction to watercolours for our new students and our monochrome Misty Mountains piece. Great work everyone!

A timely project, given the current hot weather, at this week as we worked on portraits of the 'ship of the desert' - camels! A whole range of camels were drawn into being - colourful, fun, regal - great work everyone! Hopefully, no one got the hump ... (sorry!)
