Some information on the TNQTAFE Painting classes from the Certificate 1V teacher Jenny Valmadre
Paint for one day a week for 5 hrs (every Friday) from February to November; all paint and mixed media material supplied.
Learn how to mix a huge colour palette with a minimum of colours (all supplied). Skills start with the basic application of acrylic paint (wet in wet, dry brush, scumbling and glazing techniques). We look at how to build mood with a limited palette, pastellating, colour bias and transparent paint all become very manageable.
The course rapidly moves into more contemporary mixed media processes: blending printmaking with painting; orbital sanding of surfaces to give grottage and frottage result and image transfer techniques. This section of the course helps to establish you as an original artists, paint never comes straight from the tube: your colour theory and your mixed media aims to give you an original but intelligent contemporary product.
I also look at basic rules of adult portraiture (via charcoal and gesso under-painting, we use glaze work, stencils etc to produce works that link to the personalities of the student.) We learn to see: how light wraps and reflects and how we paint that.
After the first year of skill building in painting, you can continue into diploma or second year painting ( one day a week as a part-time student) and continue to further your skills through concept development, learn to build a series and sequence of work that is the crux of professional practice. 2nd year really gives you the chance to push your capabilities beyond what you perceive as painting.
Julie Poulsen leads you into new grounds, challenges your perception and pushes you toward mature, original, authentic art.
