This programme of short courses and workshops has been prepared with the
expectation of a reduction in Covid-enforced restrictions in 2022. Student numbers
for the short courses and workshops will be strictly limited to 5 to allow for
acceptable spacing in the studio. A stand-by list will be recorded for each fully
subscribed course and if there are 4 – 5 people on the list a repeat class will be
scheduled on the same day from 2.00 – 4.00pm. The non-refundable fee is payable
upon registration. Stand-by students are asked to pay the fee upon confirmation of
the course going ahead.

The Leisure Artist
These classes are suitable for the beginner & hobby artist who is looking to
develop their creative and technical skills in a relaxed setting while enjoying
the company of others.
Students can bring their own choice of project to the class or work with Glenys
to define their specific interests and needs then embark upon an artwork
which will progress their skills. Classes are kept small to allow for plenty of
tutor attention. Pay-as-you-go or pre-pay for the term at a discounted price –
the choice is yours.
Just bring any art materials you have for your project or if you are new to
painting and drawing, just come along with your ideas and any images you
may like to work from, and Glenys will provide guidance for the most
suitable materials which can be purchased at the time.
All media are catered for, except watercolours – although you are welcome
to “dabble” with watercolours, Glenys prefers not to teach in this medium.
Fees:
• $22 per class pay-as-you-go (BYO materials) or
• $20 per class ($180 for 9-week term, $200 for 10-week term), if full
term is paid before the first class or
• $25 per class – all materials supplied (except for canvas or board) or
$23 per class if full term is paid before the first class ($207 for 9-
week term or $230 for 10-week term).

SHORT COURSES
Introduction to Painting
This short course is designed to introduce students to the materials and
processes to get them starting to paint in acrylics.
Students will be given guidance to: -
• Plan a simple image,
• Prime and seal a canvas with acrylic gesso,
• Complete a tonal sketch and underpainting,
• Learn basic skills in colour mixing and manipulation,
• Use both wet and dry brush techniques,
• Apply glazes of thin transparent paint to build deep, rich colour,
• Add reflections and shadows to indicate the direction of light on the
subject,
• Discuss how and when to varnish completed acrylic paintings safely.
6By the end of this course, students will have completed at least one small
painting to take away. Acrylics have been chosen because of their quick
drying time; however, the content of the course will provide a sound basis
for continuing into other media if so desired.
• 10am – 12 noon, Mondays February 14, 21, 28, March 7, 14, 21.
• $150.00 fee includes all materials used.
• Protective clothing is recommended.
(“Oils Made Simple” and “Making the Most of Acrylics” are other short
courses that are suitable for anyone wishing to extend the knowledge and
experience gained in this course.)
Oils Made Simple
This course is designed to de-mystify how to paint with oils effectively and
safely following the rules of oil painting. As oils take time to become “touch-
dry” the course is scheduled over 4 weeks to allow participants to complete
a simple, but effective painting.
Course content includes: -
• The foundations and principles behind the rules of oil painting.
• Safe painting practices when working with solvents.
• Creation of a value under-painting.
• Building a series of stable oil glazes to achieve luminous and rich
colours.
• Direct and indirect painting techniques including the use of painting
knives.
• Guidelines for varnishing.
By the end of the course, students will have completed at least one small
painting to take away.
• 10am – 12 noon, Mondays May 2, 9, 16 and 23.
• $100 fee includes all materials used for 4 x 2-hour classes.
• Protective clothing is recommended.
7Making the Most of Acrylics
This course is for anyone interested in comparing different ways of using
acrylics and a range of acrylic mediums. Students will choose a subject to
paint, then paint that using up to 5 different approaches and the products
that enable that to be achieved. Then the paintings will be compared to
select the one (s) which achieve the level of satisfaction you want.
Painting approaches taken may include: -
1. Alla Prima (Direct)
2. Glazing (Indirect)
3. Painting on an absorbent ground
4. Modelling the form with moulding paste
5. Mixed Acrylic Media
This course allows you to experience a range of acrylic products and
processes so that you can select those which suit your style best.
• 10am – 12 noon, Mondays June 13, 20, 27, July 4.
• $100.00 incl. all materials used.
• Protective clothing is recommended.
Understanding Colour – An Introduction
Colour conveys a wealth of meaning and aids in our interpretation of the
world (for example, the labels on hot and cold taps). It is not necessary to
copy exact the colours of a scene or topic for the image to have real value
and be an effective expression of the subject. Artists choose colours to
express mood, to interpret form and to achieve a successful composition.
This short course introduces basic colour theory which will assist you to mix
colours, achieve colour harmony, and express the mood of the image you
are painting or drawing.
A workbook is provided which becomes a useful reference when the course
is ended.
• 10am - 12noon, Mondays March 28, April 4, and 11.
• $75.00 fee includes all materials used for 3x 2-hour classes.
• Protective clothing is recommended.
8WORKSHOPS
The Right Brush for the Job
This workshop will give hands-on experience with a range of brush shapes
and filaments, so that you can choose the right brush for the job. A
worksheet will be supplied which after the workshop will be a useful
reference. Brushes suited to oils, acrylics, watercolours, gouache, and inks
will be used and the various filaments will be analyzed for their respective
qualities and therefore suitability to specific media. Ever wanted a brush
that will make a continuous very fine line, or one which will soften edges
and be useful for blending? These and other requirements will be discussed
and brushes identified to do the job you need to do.
• 10am – 12 noon, Monday 30 May.
• $25.00 fee includes all materials used.
• Protective clothing is recommended.
Alternative Workshop Topics on Request
Students can elect to cover any of the following workshop subjects as an
individual student in one of the Leisure Artist Classes so long as there is a
vacancy and notification of the workshop topic selected is given when
booking the class. Alternatively, group bookings for 4 – 6 students can be
made on Mondays during Terms 3 & 4.
Topics: -
• Techniques with Markers (1 x 2-hour class)
• Mix it Up with Mixed Media (2 x 2-hour classes)
