Complete Art Foundation Course by Nick Tidman
Suitable for all artists, from beginners to accomplished improvers, Complete Art Foundation Course provides everything you need to know about drawing, watercolour and oils and acrylics. Those who have barely put brush to canvas will be gently guided through the basics, enabling them to develop their skills and build up confidence, while artists who already have some experience in drawing and painting will be inspired to venture further - to explore a more advanced techniques and more challenging subject matter, or to simply improve areas where they are rusty. Experienced tutors and artists pass on their practical know-how, providing historical context and advising on which equipment to buy, how to care for it and the fundamentals of how to draw and paint. Students are taught how to tackle shape, light and composition, colour theory and perspective and provided with helpful tips, tricks and rescur remedies. Step-by-step projects explore popular themes - from life drawing and still life to landscape and portraiture. Aimed at giving you the technical skills necessary to produce work to be proud of, Complete Art Foundation Course is an inspirational reference source for any budding artist.
Since 2004 Paul Thomas has spent his time travelling between Australia and Europe. His work reflects this cultural diversity in drawings and paintings that explore shared mythologies and narratives. Having recently finished a series of drawings that dealt with Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, he is now working with the diverse flora and fauna of Australia. The dramatic and inventive landscape allows him the freedom to develop new projects outside of his usual context and challenges his own position as a European artist. Nick Tidnam's main passion has always remained in sketching and painting; constantly exploring new avenues and methods to create a unique body of work that has earned him international acclaim. In 2001, he was elected to the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) and is a popular member of the London Sketch Club and The Savage Club. He continues to paint full time and exhibit across the UK and around the world, most recently in Delhi, India. Anita Taylor is a figurative painter, exploring identity, emotion and narrative through tableaux and interactions which are at once highly theatrical, ye intimate and symbolic. Alongside her practice as an artist, Anita Taylor has worked in art education in numerous roles, including: Director of The Centre for Drawing at the University of the Arts, London; Dean of Wimbledon College of Art, University of the Arts, London, and Deputy Head of School, School of Art, Media and Design at the University of Gloucestershire, where she was first awarded a Professorial title. She is currently the Director of the National Art School in Sydney, Australia. Anita also co-founded and is co-director (with Paul Thomas) of the Jerwood Drawing Prize, a prominent annual award and touring exhibition that showcases current drawing practice in the UK.
