"Perfumed Trees in a velvet dress. Hand caressing rocks and flesh"
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.”

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.

These advanced painting sessions are ideal for artists, working regularly in their own studio, who feel that they would benefit from monthly tutorials to push their work forward. Meeting with other like-minded artists is also helpful to stimulate and challenge ideas and processes; developing critical judgment and a professional outlook through feedback sessions and practical work.

Suitable for practising artists


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. I have been commissioned by the Crowood Press to write a comprehensive book about painting and drawing the head and the figure. It is based on my teaching, painting and the work of other artists including John Skinner, Rose Wylie and Roy Oxlade. (Due to be published in 2008).
'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 currently preparing work for a group show at HQ gallery, Lewes in February/March 2008’

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.

Nick is represented by HQ Gallery Lewes and is currently preparing work for a solo exhibition there in September 2007.


Painting for me is a catalyst for opportunity and discovery. It enables me to relate to my surroundings and heightens my awareness of what I may have seen before but never really acknowledged. My current work is autobiographical: expressing the intimate, the passionate, the lustful and the sensual presence of the body. The work naturally develops in chapters each relating to the previous and yet moving forward and deepening my sense of the subject.

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.

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.
