The sessions run 12-4 Saturday and Sunday, and some Wednesdays.
All sessions by date.
Do you teach children?
Inglis Academy does not offer coaching to people 18 or under. Our Art and Music Literacy syllabus is designed for adult learners. We cater to:
Motivated adult beginners
Professionals in art and design.
Parents who want to help their children develop art skills at home. The course is very popular with mothers who are keen to teach their own children how to paint.
Accessibility | Disabled access?
This building is NOT wheelchair accessible. There are no lifts or ramps.
The session is quite arduous and therefore unsuitable for people with chronic medical conditions.
The logistics of this teaching method and the size of the room make it impossible to accommodate any medical equipment or walkers.

In nature there is potentially an infinite range of subtle colours and tones. Of course we can't mix "infinite"... or we'd take forever!
So what I have done is analyse the most important colours in the scene. Then we can blend using brush stroke techniques and glazes to create as many gradations of colour and tone as we feel the painting needs.
Look at the foam at the bottom left of the scene.
We know foam is white?
Right?
It turns out that particular foam is actually a light blue!
Even in the foam on the main wave there is very little white, we actually find a lot of warm tones reflecting the sunset.
Remember that each colour is found in one particular place on our Chevreaux Colour Wheel.
As we paint we listen to great music. Our brain mirrors the architecture of the music, our body responds with Rhythm and Articulation.

We held our first Gallery Quality Painting session on the weekend and it was a roaring success!
We glazed the painting - twice and achieved very vibrant results as you can see.
Student paintings of Monet: Water Lilies with Weeping Willows, 1916.
We also used impasto to get textured and reflective edges on the waterlilies.
