| This is me doing interactive painting with visitors at the Windsor Contemporary Art Fair last November. |
The reason for this was a demand from people following my fb page and encouragement from fellow artists and friends. I occasionally do workshops and projects to promote creativity in the community, but time is often an issue and creating my own art has taken
Having thought long and hard about how this will proceed I looked in depth at the way I create.
My working process and methodology is unorthodox and very intuitive, focussing on creating calm from a rather chaotic and colourful background.

| Starting off with colour shapes |
 |
| Completed still life. |
 |
| A busy visual to start off a landscape painting. |

| The landscape painting nearing completion. |
To demonstrate this practically in the course I have experimented with shapes, colours, a variety of techniques and drawing marks. A tentative formula and working process to be implemented in this course will include live elements and interaction thanks to digital technology with virtual 'hands on' elements to be included by myself drawing digitally on students' developing artworks to offer guidance without actually touching the physical item.
It's quite tricky to explain, and I will release a short video to explain the process in more detail.
Meanwhile, I've documented the creative process of one of my still life paintings in a time lapse video and demonstrated some of the techniques to be used in the September course.
I limit places on the course to 60 in order to interact with students effectively. A further course might be added in October as the September one is nearly full.Further courses on Landscape painting and a more Floral design based option will be offered early 2016.If you are interested in the course, have a look for detail on the link at the top or see www.explorecolour.com

Beautiful, Este! I just want to say I applaud you for limiting your class size. People often ask me why I limit MY online class size, since, theoretically, you can take an infinite number of people. My answer is that you can't give effective feedback to an infinite number of people. But then I wonder.... am I the only one giving feedback on online classes? THANKS for reassuring me. I'm sure the class will go great!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jane, I have been doing online classes myself, and this is one aspect I think is important in particular with such a 'hands on' subject as painting. The prerecorded tutorials forms the backdrop element of the 'live' course and everything in the videos will be demonstrated again over the two weekends, with a different outcome, based on this particular way of painting.
DeleteEste-quite a long time ago when you first started talking about teaching an online class I contacted you and I believe you were keeping a list of people--is this the list of pre registered students? Thank you
ReplyDeleteYes please Este! I've sent you an email re wishing to do this with you.

I am sure that will be very handy to learn about the painting. What will be the cost of this online course. Either it will be free or you will charge for this?

I felt heart broken for i didn't know how to get her back. I did all i could do to get her back with her close friends and family assistance but nothing worked out. So, in my place of work, i tried searching for help online and i found various testifiers of how a Doctor named Osemu has been faithful & helpful with his spells.

He assured me that nothing can break us apart again and since 2015 till this moment, i have been full of joy with my wife.

Uncharted 5 will be unbelievable if Cassie came in as Nate's replacement! As the daughter of Elena and Nathan, she has all the resources she will ever need to become the next treasure hunter in the family. And having her as the protagonist will ensure that we get to see Nate, Elena, and everyone else in at least some capacity. Uncharted 5 Gameplay
