Details

Let there be Light - Painting (Stage 1) with Leigh Martin

This course is designed for students who have completed Let There Be Light: Drawing, or who already have some drawing experience, and wish to extend their practice into painting.

Participants will explore a range of painting approaches, developing an understanding of how light can be conveyed both technically and expressively.

Throughout the course, students will be introduced to essential processes and techniques applicable to both representational and abstract interests. The programme supports skill development from initial underpainting through to resolved, completed works, providing a structured yet flexible pathway for continued growth in painting practice.
