Life Painting for 16 - 18 Year Olds
Chris Koning
A course for any student considering further study within the arts, this is a great opportunity to hone your visual skills and develop new confidence in your abilities. Using acrylic paint for its quick-drying properties, we will paint from the model working through a variety of exercises around tone and composition. Come prepared to think differently about what you see, and be prepared to leave with some great work for your portfolio.
Chris Koning is a practising artist with extensive experience teaching drawing and painting. She received her MA from Central Saint Martins in 2002 and completed her formal teaching qualification in 2008. Her work can be seen at www.chriskoning.com.
