Four Week Preparatory Online Course- Beginning September 8th

We are happy to introduce this intensive four week online course to students who have not yet attended Neds Eight week online course. 

Date : Tuesday September 08th 2026 -Tuesday September 30th 2026

Price $250

Time 10am -12.30 pm

For beginners to intermediate, this course has the intention of introducing new students to Neds working methods and process. A lot of  our students are returning to us for our Wednesday Morning classes, as a result, Ned wanted to have time with new students to focus  on them with a more directed basic course focused on their needs .

The aim of this course will be to assess each students needs and introduce Neds working methods to new students. After teaching for over 60 years Ned is convinced that most paintings are ruined at the start, as we don't do the important preliminary work of doing value and color studies to get things down in a smaller and quicker  way to see what is working and what isn't.

Ned will go over  types of material,  introduction to design,how to use photographs, the value of value studies with  demonstrations on  how to think about and apply this working method to students  own work. 

"The old Masters worked in value only for four years, when I was in Art School we worked in value for two years, once a student sees how important and valuable they are they are willing to do them. They make us better Artists!"

We will also spend at least one session talking about drawing and demonstrating perspective.

This will be a smaller group ,Limited to eight students  and an opportunity for new students to get a solid grounding on Neds process at a pace that may better suit them.
