ATELIER School of Drawing 2020

Drawing is a fundamental, primary language that informs all art and creativity. From fashion to digital media, or sculpture to painting, drawing underpins the exploration of creative ideas and thinking. At the ATELIER School of Drawing we offer classes and courses throughout the year to engage students with learning focused on observational and expressive approaches to drawing – our approach is hands-on, vocational, and skill-based.

Our ultimate goal is to see drawing highlighted as an essential element in the formation of artistic practice, and for drawing to be elevated as a credible final resolution in and of itself. We want to see our students engaged, extended, and equipped to develop their own artistic endeavours through the undergirding of effective drawing disciplines and foundations.

Oil Painting

Oil paint is a beautiful, luscious, and luminous medium, it has a richness that surpasses most other mediums but, oil painting can also be a bit of a mystery to the beginner as it is rather complex and nuanced; once the fundamental skills are learnt it is a pure joy to paint with!

Oil Painting Classes With Emma Glintmeyer

Wednesday’s 6:30 – 8:30 pm

I am really excited to demystify and show you the potential of oil painting, one way we will do this is by analysing the techniques of the old masters and through looking at contemporary approaches, this will give you a well rounded overview of the capabilities of this versatile and time tested medium.
This course will cover the basics from how to prepare your supports, palette and brushes through to how to start a painting, then we’ll move onto the fun of exploring and experimenting with different paint application techniques, such as, scumbling, impasto, and glazing. Once you have a feel for each technique you’ll have a chance to further develop any method you resonate with on your own oil painting.
