ART EDUCATION | ST IVES SCHOOL OF PAINTING
Asked to join as a tutor in 2015 to specialise in outdoor landscape courses based at the historic School of Painting studios in St Ives, Cornwall. There is now a yearly programme of courses, workshops, life drawing and events for which I research, plan, create and deliver both face-to-face and online.
“What worked for me was masses of individual attention and encouragement and positive support, the opportunity to sketch outside. These 2 days have opened doors I have been longing to open. Thank you Greg” – Debs Blyth.
Although the programme changes yearly, some highlights include:
Painting The Coast Path
A 3 day course taking participants for a walk along the stunning coast path to collect visual information in a sketchbook, then returning to the studio to transform this into more considered pieces of work.
The Sensory Landscape
A 3 day course designed to loosen up participants approach to landscape painting and give them a sense of being within a landscape, rather than just an observer of it.
Make Your Own Artists Materials
A 3 day course giving participants the opportunity to make their own artists charcoal using fire on the beach, ink from oak galls and oil paint from earth pigments, then use the materials they have made to create their own landscape inspired works.
Culture Camp
With students from the Nine Maidens Pupil Referral Unit a week long programme of art activities and gallery visits which gives them the opportunity to achieve the Bronze Arts Award.
