Experimental mixed media drawing course with Isabel Coulton at Bala Brook, South Brent, Dartmoor - A well-being retreat for anyone who would like to draw. Drawing is a great way to unwind, and at Bala Brook you will be transported into a peaceful environment where contemplation of the natural world blends beautifully with learning to mark, make and draw. “During these 5 days we will go on a creative journey either to find, or to strengthen your own artistic voice. Through drawing exercises and discovering different mediums and techniques, we will draw the landscape and also the human figure. This course is suitable for the complete novice through to experienced artists, especially if you need to refresh your practice and with morning yoga you can start your day feeling refreshed and focused. The aim of the course is to introduce you to different mediums giving you the time to experiment and the skills to improve. We will use drawing and painting, alongside collage and will look at other, older materials like egg tempera and gilding, finding modern ways of using them within your work. We will look at colour and line, tone and shading. Life drawing will anchor our drawing skills and comprehension of form. Going out into the landscape, we can learn to take quick and exciting sketches which we bring back to the studio, combining our life drawings and preliminary sketches to create something new. I am kind and fun loving and it’s important to me that you have an enjoyable time in my company, so I focus on helping you relax and lose your inhibitions. You will discover your artistic self afresh, and return home with a new outlook and verve for creating.” Prices from £625: all inclusive: Art materials, paper, bed and delicious food 3x a day with snacks, morning yoga and your tuition.
