THE MAIN FOCUS
Students will learn that even now in the 21 century artists are still reflecting on the issues Picasso 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 depicting objects seen from multiple viewpoints. Fractured shapes + space with dynamic movement and emotive colour.
Students will be using water colour, soluble colour pencils, collage and graphite during the workshop.
By the end of the workshop…
Students will leave the workshop understanding Picasso’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.

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
“Loved it! I was a bit apprehensive. Cubism isn’t what I’d call my cup of tea, but the references were really interesting and the way the task was set really helped me to let loose. Learnt more about the origins and inspiration for Cubism – very interesting and helped build my own interpretation – realised there’s much more skill and depth to it.” Vanessa S
“Motivational, Exciting. I learnt to understand why Cubism’s ideas allow us to play with [traditional] perspective.” David F
“Fun, relaxing. It’s a unique experience that frees your mind and lets you express yourself.” Laura F
“Incredibly insightful experience. Quality teaching and encouraging advice. I learned a lot and expressed myself. Thank you.” I learnt about the “background info on the artist and what techniques he used. The movement dates and periods and how to make dominant shapes and let loose. I would recommend the workshop as it gave me an “insightful learning of techniques and understanding of artist and just because its fun.” My course highlight was “it was all a highlight… thank you Brian.” Kiana M
