What are we offering? These contemporary painting courses offered by Emily Ball studios have been running for 15 years. Emily Ball and her colleagues, specialise in teaching painting and drawing. A wide variety of artists attend the courses and they all share a passion for art and their desire to be more adventurous and innovative.
Who are the courses for?
Emily Ball studios believe in:	The artists who attend are:
Demystifying art by unpacking the arty terminology into practical exercises that clarify how to re-invent the work, within a structure. Enjoying paint and the painting process Becoming adventurous and taking risks Selecting and editing Innovative, contemporary painting Discovering unpredictable, exciting results Progressing your work and developing critical judgement	All ages from 18 years to 80 years All levels of expertise including beginners Practising artists at different stages in their career Artists with formal qualifications and undergraduate art students Professional artists who exhibit their work regularly Artists with no formal art training Travel from as far a field as: Portsmouth, Leicester, London, California, Portugal, France


These established painting courses provide regular input and inspiration throughout the year. The three terms will provide an ongoing project; for some it is an extension of their own practice, for others a fresh kick to stimulate something new. Every student will find out what they like to paint and will become more fearless of the process of making mages. There will be a range of options for subjects given this year but with the usual twists and challenges thrown in. Emily Ball is the main tutor and visiting tutors throughout the year give fresh input, ideas and constructive criticism.
Term 1 Sensation and Imagination Exercises and creative games will be the icebreakers to introduce the different subjects. Seeing with your fingers not your eyes will provide a new look to the work. Studies in paint, print and drawing will form the basis of the term’s work.	Term 2 Ancient and Modern We will make trips to museums to make studies and search out fresh ideas for the previous term’s chosen subject matter. Using imagery from the past and making it relevant and contemporary now is something artists have always done.We will pick up this challenge and create new work.	Term 3 Application and Resolution This important final term allows time and space for students to digest and apply the ideas and methods from the previous two terms. Unfinished work can be resolved with the help of one to one tuition. Without this opportunity to consolidate and apply the work much of the previous 2 term’s work will not have as much value and lasting impact.


A course that aims to get to the warm beating heart of all kinds of creatures	“Bring back the wolf and boar, they won’t eat your children, open your basic human hearts to bears, and birds of prey, because the wild can give us one final reason to be truthful and free”	“I wish I was made of fur and bone, feathers and eyes, so I can feel free tranquil and mighty like a giant.”

More than just a drawing course, this will really encourage participants to push beyond the usual limits of the subject. The structures and forms of natural bodies will be the initial inspiration, followed by a sideways look at familiar objects, gadgets, toys and other everyday things.

John has a justly deserved reputation as an outstanding and brilliant painter and teacher. He shares his philosophy and passion for painting generously. His approach is not about ideas and concepts instead John teaches his students to find ways of fully engaging with the process of painting; noticing a subject that make it magical, special, poignant and allowing the qualities of the paint and image to reveal the subject anew. If you would like help to take positive risks with your work in order to create extraordinary paintings that will feed all future development. This is a ‘not to be missed’ opportunity.

The sea, beach and sky are expansive and elusive subjects. Using the Sussex coastline as our inspiration we will go out on location to the beach to gather experiences and information. Bringing this back to the studio students will be encouraged to create expressive paintings in response to their studies and memories of the sea. An experimental approach is encouraged and students are guided with a structure of helpful exercises and one to one tuition. (Suitable for all levels of experience)

Experiment with different approaches to drawing including ink and paint. Exercises will be set, or you can come with your own ideas: from observational study to a more personal interpretation of the subject.


The focus of my work for the past five years has been my two children. The paintings are a non-sentimental take on the theme of mother and child. My book on painting and drawing the head and the figure will be published early 2009. Artists work included in the book are Emily Ball, Gail Elson, Katie Sollohub, Gary Goodman, John Skinner, Roy Oxlade, Rose Wylie and Georgia Hayes and work by my students. We are planning a book launch and exhibition in 2009.
'Emily's paintings celebrate the ordinary and prosaic qualities of life. They delight in capturing moments of mundanity, of taking a sideways glance at the familiar.' (Jane Nash)	Emily recommends that you visit the following websites: [ John Skinner ] [ West Dean ]

I work primarily with my self as my subject. The space I inhabit provides an endless source of inspiration, an ever changing terrain for exploration. In drawings and paintings, installation, performance, poetry and photographs, I map the world as I experience it, using the body, objects, words and memory to tell my story.

I am a painter, printmaker and writer. I also make 3D constructions and artists books. My work is figurative, expressive and, amongst other things I am interested in the powerful combination of both life’s beauty and its tragedy – and am wholly accepting of it.

I am interested in how images from everyday life can be turned into paintings. My subjects include – dogs, trucks, motorways, and people; down on the beach, camping, out in the landscape. In the end though, it’s the how and why, rather than the what, that’s important.

I now live in the South of France after 15 years of working at the Abbotsbury Studios in Dorset, England. Here I have met two sculptors and share a studio space with them. I have kept a journal since my arrival that I am now beginning to write in French. I have also made a series of tartes and gateaux, taken many photographs of objects resting in the clear canal water and begun to paint again joyously after a break of nearly two years.
Visit my [ website ]

I use anything I see around me in my paintings. Also subjects from the more distant world via newspaper photographs or objects in museums. Memory and feelings about what is seen are important elements as well as working from drawings. I like to use what happens spontaneously and to find a way to take risks in the work. I want the paint and the painting to be alive with the energy that comes from tension between marks and colours and from the concentration of energy at the moment of making. I am not interested in academic or derivative images but in a primitive response to the world.

(Saturday – Wednesday closed Sunday 9th)

This year the Seawhite Studio will be working with St. Mary’s School in Washington for the Big Draw. The whole school will be involved with a painting project both at the studio and at the school that will continue on through the academic year. [ view images taken during the 2006 Big Draw ].	Saturday October 18th 10.00am – 4.00pm Everyone is welcome to come and join in with this Years Big Draw. There will be experimentation with tools and processes on a big scale, lots of different approaches to drawing on a 50-foot piece of paper.
Emily Ball Studios are currently working with several local schools to develop projects that are tailored to the needs of their curriculum. The Seawhite Studio offers an inspirational location for students to get a taste of what it is like working in a space purely dedicated to developing creativity and experimenting with painting and drawing. Please contact us if you would like to know more about opportunities for schools at Emily Ball Studios.


Exhibition of the selected work from March 30th - April 3rd 2009 We are looking for exceptional and individual work with a bias towards fine art. Accepted work must demonstrate expressive use of materials. Our aim is to show the high standard of work being produced in schools by 16 – 18 year olds, to encourage young artists to show their work and to help them on to the next stage of a career in Fine Art (Foundation and Degree). For 10 students there will be prizes of Art Materials and a free Master Class Drawing Course tutored by Emily Ball and Katie Sollohub. Invitations to take part will be sent to schools in West Sussex
