Cezanne (1839 – 1906)
Variety of contemporary living artists
THE MAIN FOCUS
Students will learn that even now in the 21 century artists are still reflecting on the issues Cezanne tried to resolve. The focus of the workshop is to guide students to explore and develop their own personal skills and techniques. Students will be supported and guided to create inspired, personal, creative artwork that help them develop their own drawing or painting style.
What will students be drawing or painting?
Contemporary still life drawings with simplified shapes, focusing on structure, planes + facets. Colour + pattern will be strongly featured.
Students will be using oil pastels + pencil during the workshop.
By the end of the workshop…
Students will leave the workshop understanding the Cezanne’s ideas more fully. Having travelled a creative journey to discover their own creative solutions, students will be better able to transform their own drawing and painting.

To help you decide what level course is best, you will see Teaching Levels on each of the course pages above the ‘Add to cart’ button.
Students will always benefit from clear instructions and lots of one-to-one tuition on all of my courses.
Level 1: Absolute-beginner For those students who have never done any art or are returning to art after a very long break. Teaching focuses on core skills with tutor-led exercises on use of materials and techniques
Level 2: Beginner + Improver For those students who have done some art learning, draw or paint occasionally at home or attend an art group, and feel they need to gain a foundation in the basic techniques. Teaching focuses on core skills, understanding and use of the Art Elements + Principles, materials + techniques, with tutor-led exercises and mini projects.
Level 3: Intermediate For those students who have learnt the basic techniques, have gained some artistic confidence and are seeking to develop their skills further to create more complex work. Teaching focuses on developing art skills, creative techniques and individual styles, students’ ability to self-assess their work, encouraging experimentation, with tutor-led exercises and time for extended projects with the benefit of group critiques.
Level 4: Experienced For those students confident in their abilities and techniques, who are looking to challenge themselves further, to create a coherent body of work, possibly to exhibit and sell. Teaching focuses on guiding students in developing their own ideas and self-directed practice, through enhancing personal skills and techniques and encouraging a deeper contextual awareness with the benefit of one-to-one tutorials.

Student Quotes
“Informative and inspirational. Lots of fun! I’ve learnt the history of Cezanne and how to use new techniques and look at objects differently. Brian helped me throughout the process, meaning I created a piece to the best of my ability.” My course highlight was that I felt “it was all great.” Anna P
“Fun, informative, interesting, engrossing. Made me think about shape, colour, form. Have never used oil pastel – fun.” Pam B
“It’s a fantastic course with a great balance of elements from teaching to the practical. Brian was a great tutor. I have learnt a bit about Cezanne, Post Impressionist, techniques he used and have applied them to a still life work/drawing.” My course highlight was the “fantastic studio space, bright, clean with lots of resources and an encouraging atmosphere.” Stephen R
