4 week course on how to draw & paint using mixed media

Fees: £110 total per person

If you wish to speak to the tutor, you can call or message Swati directly on 07939 275 790 or email her on info@studiokavachi.co.uk

Please note that you will need to sign up for an entire course and make a full payment in advance of the lessons. The deadline for booking onto this course is 31 October.

This intriguing new four-week course, taught by Swati, allows participants of all levels to experiment with a range of materials and techniques that they may not have previously considered, and which may transform their painting practice.

This course looks closely at both surface texture and materials, which are as emotional and powerful as colour can be in a painting. An inventive use of materials can help achieve a unique voice and create works that have a profound resonance with the viewer. Through a mixture of tuition and demonstrations, Swati will help & guide students to push the boundaries of what they think is possible in their work and increase the armoury of techniques used in their future painting practice.

Agenda:

Week 1 will be about creating art on printed paper with a limited colour palette, using inks & charcoal

Week 2 will see some experiments with textural backgrounds and painting on foreground with acrylic paints & markers

Week 3 & 4 will be spent on creating one artwork in total. This will be a mix of watercolours and fine pen work.

All required materials will be provided.

Art is unique to every individual and Swati prides herself in being able to guide, support and help participants at their own level to progress from where they are.

Thank you so much Swati Sinha you have shown me a world which gives me so much happiness… I found a piece of my Ikigai (Meenu Tiwari-a regular student from various workshops)

When you really want to understand art media and where to start, then Swati is the artist to do that for you. Her teaching style is great and her enthusiasm even greater. She is the best art teacher I’ve had and would recommend any of her sessions. I have attended her workshops and lessons for adults. To be honest, I truly believe she has given me the passion for art. Thank you Swati. (Surinder- a regular student from various art workshops)

Swati set me on the path of a lifetime and I’m so grateful to have learnt so much from her. A passion for art as you say! Wonderful woman wonderful teacher! (Sue Stretton- a regular student from various workshops)

So proud Swati, thank you for all your encouragement and support every week. Georgia says thank you too, she loves your classes. Before September last year, she lacked the confidence to even try water colour, now look at her go! Thank you for believing in her ability, she’s believing in herself too….at last. She’s so ready for college in the summer, she can’t wait!

Proud mum ��❤️ ( Mum of Georgia, a teenager from weekly Friday lessons)

Before I met Swati I thought I couldn’t draw or paint. I now know I can!

Swati is a patient enthusiastic and dedicated teacher. She cares about her students experience and encourages in a kindly and respectful way.

I love attending Swati’s sessions as they are fun and I come away with a real sense of achievement and accomplishment. ( Sue Forrest- a regular student from various workshops)

I have been attending art lessons with Swati for the last one year. It’s been a great experience and I learned a lot. Swati is a great teacher, very patient and introduced me to palette knife painting and few other techniques. I could expand my skills to a level I have never dreamed of. I look forward to her class each week amidst my busy work schedule (Bushra- a regular art student for weekly online lessons)
