IMPORTANT COVID NOTICE
Hello Artists,
I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe in these strange times.
After a lot of consideration, I have decided to continue all the courses via the live video link as well (this will be Zoom again which is free and easy to use). Although this decision was originally forced upon me for the May courses, the live video via Zoom has proved way more successful than I anticipated, and as it presents no risk to anyone, I will continue the online art classes for the rest of this year.
I will continue to offer a 20% discount on all courses, for as long as the classes continue to be online. The online art classes will still be interactive, and other than not being present in the same space, continue as they usually do, with plenty of tuition and tailored feedback.
I will still be offering my expertise on materials such as graphite, charcoal, pen & ink, and painting paraphernalia in both acrylic and oil.
We’ll still cover topics like drawing from direct observation, landscapes, portraits and the figure in various media. Techniques such as creating depth in a drawing, applying tone in ink, the proportions of the face, atmospheric perspective, and so much more will be covered in detail, but instead in the safety and comfort of your own home.
Every student will receive individual feedback on what they show me via Zoom, or send over to me after the session. I will endeavour to offer my insight as always, tailored specifically to the individual.
What has also proved hugely successful are the videos I record offering feedback on all student artwork, as well as a recording of the Zoom session itself (which only my students have access to).
The specific feedback videos are made after class, as additional critique, in which I can go into even more detail on student work.
In such unusual times, it feels more important than ever to be creative and artistically active, but also feel safe and at ease. Having online art courses makes this experience possible.
I will continue to update the Art Courses Birmingham Facebook page with student work and any new info, so please do Follow the page.
If you have any specific questions with regards the online art course details please get in touch, I’m happy to help.
All the very best folks, stay safe and healthy.
