Mixed Media / Exploring Possibilities
S e p t emb e r 2 0 - 2 8
Those of you who are familiar with the work
of Vince Tutton realise that, as well as
respecting the importance of developing skills
in the use of a single medium, he finds the
use of combinations of pencil, charcoal,
chalk pastel, gouache, acrylics, photographs
and writing the ideal vehicle for his present work.
The intention of this workshop is to allow
participants to explore the many possibilities
offered by such media. Introductory experimental
sessions will be offered to encourage the use
of the media in ongoing personal explorations.
Vince fully expects that some of you may prefer
to concentrate on the use of just one drawing or
painting technique to develop your ideas.
Appropriate tuition will be provided for this.
Vince Tutton has taught in secondary school,
Colleges of Further Education, Community Art,
Therapy in Hospital. 1986/7 he was awarded the
Fulbright Scholarship, USA/UK Exchange Programme,
Miami and 1994/5 The Residency in
Painting at Foundation Valparaiso, Spain.
Vince has exhibited his work widely in the UK and
abroad. His work can be seen on the website:

The Elements of Painting
J u n e 7 - 1 5
Tony will address the different kinds of language
used in making a painting. “The canvas is flat, the
world 3-dimensional.” This essential difference
brings into play the use of 'language'. “I don't
dictate the language but encourage recognition of
a fact that a language is used. This is not the same
as learning 'technique' as it is an over-arching attitude
to the activity rather than a series of practical
matters. Certain basic elements need to be considered:
Tonal truth, inventive colour, use of different
weights of paint, attention to 'touch' and to 'edge'.
If all this sounds 'difficult' and not suited to the
needs of the beginner, it is not. Inexperienced and
very experienced artists continue to work together
in my classes to the benefit of both.”
Tony studied at The Slade and was later a lecturer
there. He has taught at various London Art
Schools including The Byam Shaw, Wimbledon and
Heatherleys and continues to teach at University of
the Arts, Kensington and Chelsea College and he
gives private classes which are held at Heythrop
College, Kensington Square. Tony has had Solo
exhibitions at Jonathan Ross's Gallery 286, London
and group exhibitions include: RA Summer Exhibition,
Royal Society of Portrait Painters, "The Discerning
Eye"

Exploring ways to Structure a Painting

planning of work for the day and on occasion set an
exercise in either drawing, colour mixing or painting
and collage.
She will assist with the process of structuring a
painting, paying attention to the balance of
composition, the mixing and use of colour and tone
introducing different materials and techniques to
help with bringing paintings to fruition.
