Details
Impressionism began in the 1870’s in France and is still influential and relevant today for the simple reason that it is still probably the most popular of the pictorial arts. It is appropriate that a course on Impressionism should be here in Constable Country because it was Constable’s paintings of the Stour Valley that inspired Monet and Pissarro. This course explores how the impressionists painted; we look at the new approach they took to colour, drawing, composition and subject with simple demonstrations and explanations on how they achieved their effects, with students then exploring techniques, working in oil and acrylics. See also 9-12th August if you would like to join Pat for a full week and enjoy a 10% discount on the fees.
Pat Gavin studied Painting, Illustration, History of Art and Interior Design at Hornsey College of Art. Painting has always been central to his work during his career as an illustrator, graphic designer and animator, in television for which he has won several Baftas, film and advertising.
We have 78 beds over 25 bedrooms. Our dining room can cater for up to 60 people at a time. We have 5 classrooms, all with interactive whiteboards. Guests can also use our library and recreation room. We also have extensive grounds including river frontage, our own island, woods, reedbeds, open fields and meadows.
