Petschel House Classes & Workshops

Featured

New PAINTING WORKSHOPS with Jenni Mitchell will commence in MAY 2018 on Thursdays and Fridays in the Petschel House Studio 10.00am – 12.00am.

Classes are suitable for beginners and advanced and practicing artists’ looking to increase their skills.

Students will be encouraged to work with the FUNDAMENTALS OF PAINTING –  TONE and COLOUR to improve their understanding and skills to enable the artist to paint from Observation and Life. With an understanding of how to ‘see’ through an artists eye you will be able to more readily paint a Classical Subject or a Contemporary Abstract. Knowledge of Tone and Colour and how to use the various materials will be covered and make the production of a fine work of art more simple.
