Painting in Skiathos

The course begins with a series of discussions and exercises in the studio, For beginners (and those wishing to revisit what they may already know) this is followed by an insight to of the basic principles (line, form, perspective, colour theory and practise, design i.e composition) and an exploration of a variety of mediums (watercolour, acrylics, oil painting etc) and techniques (such as glazing) – as laid down by the Great Masters.

This general drawing and painting course is suitable for all levels of artistic ability. The classes are small, relaxed and friendly (even one to one) and are flexible enough to meet individual requirements: For beginners it provides an opportunity to explore different genres and media (covering a variety of techniques including working with acrylics, oils, and water colours) and for the more experienced or established artist, it provides a unique and inspiring setting in which to hone your skills in your preferred medium, working at your own pace and with as much, or as little, instruction as you’d like, while enjoying the company of fellow artists.
A full week’s course is designed to offer not only art tuition and an opportunity to paint but a complete and memorable ‘Skiathos experience’, ensuring that you thoroughly enjoy and make the very most of your visit. Classes are conducted both in the studio, ‘en plein air’ and on excursions.
