28th July & 4th August 2025 - Fridays from 10am - 1pm
INTRODUCTION TO POINTILLISM - Drawing and Painting
A two week art course (6 hours)
This is a fun workshop divided in two sessions, where we will be exploring how to draw and paint with dots. We will be taking inspiration from George Pierre Seurat and Paul Sugnac, both French post-impressionists.
As well as mixing colours by layering them one over another, we will be mixing colours optically.
To find more about this style of drawing and painting, please join our introductory class this February.
We will learn, experiment, be creative and have fun.
Please note we run all of course based on minimum numbers.
What materials do I need ?
Please bring gel pens, acrylic markers and / or paints, a good quality paper or canvas board, and brushes suitable for acrylics. Water is used with acrylics as they are water based colours, so a few old plastic bottles or larger plastic cups will be useful to keep brushes in, for water and to mix paints.
Supplies can be purchased from a variety of places, depending on budget and preference, for example The Works, Poundland or online from Amazon.
We will be painting on the tables, but everyone is welcome to bring an easel if they have one.
If you have any questions about what to bring to the class please contact the centre for more information.
PLEASE NOTE: When buying more than one ticket for you or someone else, you must put in the correct individual information of all who are attending. Information can not be completely the same all tickets purchased.
You will need to complete an enrolment form in the centre before the course begins, we can help you with this and it won't take long (approx 15 mins) we just ask that you bring proof of ID and your national insurance number so that we can reserve you a space on the class. Please note that we do reserve the right to withdraw the offer of a place if the enrolment form is not completed ahead of the course.
