This course is for those who would like to explore the vibrant colours and versatility of acrylic to paint people and animals. We will be looking at drawing skills, accuracy versus artistic licence, expression, realism, impasto, glazing, palette knife and brushwork. A variety of artists’ work from past and present will be discussed and students will be able to learn at their own pace to develop their own personal style. 

Beginners with Caroline should join her Wednesday afternoon class.

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.
