This is the current term which will be delivered from September to October 2023. In this course Dave will guide participants through an exploration of the main principles behind the tonalist approach: namely subject, value and colour.

It’s a great style to practice painting through as we dramatically simplify shapes and masses to focus our attention more closely on values, a unified colour scheme and soft brushwork and edges.
