After several months of very technical methods, including different types of printmaking, we made a return to painting. The members had expressed an interest in learning a little about art history, specifically movements in the 20th century. We devised an approach for the coming sessions that would enable them to continue to develop their technical understanding of how to use materials and understand the formal consideration of making an artwork, and at the same time try approaches that related to the major art movements in the 20th century. We began by 'drawing with paint', and 'understanding colour', with several life model sessions, and some painterly sketches of still life subject matter. How to understand composition, how to mix paint and colour, and how to work in layers where some of the themes discussed.
