WITH TUTOR CAROLINE MARSLAND
This course will focus on the work and life of John Singer Sargent. We will be looking at the processes he used both in oils and watercolour, his influences and those he influenced. Students will learn how to develop their own work through the use of his unique techniques and brushwork. Additional aspects taught will be composition, colour and tonal impact. The mediums used on this course will be oil or acrylic, charcoal and watercolour

Originally from Cheshire, I attained an art foundation with distinction at Manchester before moving to Brighton where I completed an Honours Degree in Graphic Design and Illustration. I am lucky enough to live by the sea in Newhaven, East Sussex with two adored cats as part of my family but am also based in Altrincham. Cheshire. I can often be found painting plein air in the summer with a borrowed doggy companion. 

My paintings are an exploration of rich colour, mood and light with a special interest in reflections. I enjoy painting any kind of subject matter such as still life, seascape, landscape  although my particular favourite is people and pet portraiture.
