Explore the colours and themes of winter landscape while learning and developing the techniques of oil or acrylic painting.

During the course, students may investigate colour theory, ‘wet in to wet’, glazing and other painting techniques, learning from a range of historical and contemporary artists.

Students will be encouraged to develop their own approach to ‘winter landscape’, choosing either oil or acrylic to paint with. This course is open to all levels of experience and ability. Tuition in the basics of painting in oil or acrylic will be offered to those with no experience.

Martin Kerrison

I am an artist and educator, having extensive experience as a senior school and adult education teacher. I teach drawing, painting, life and portraiture classes to all ages and abilities, exploring a wide range of materials and approaches. I believe art benefits all and everyone has creative potential.
My art practice focusses on figurative and magical realist painting and I have exhibited widely, most notably at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions in 2022, 2020 and 2015.
Graduating from Northumbria University with a degree in Fine Art, I took a PGCE at Oxford and an MA in History of Art at the University of London. I taught art for many years in the London area, working as a Teacher of Art and Art History, Adult Education Tutor and Head of Art and Photography, before relocating to Yorkshire in 2021.
When not at the easel or in the classroom, I can often be found enjoying countryside walks, historic buildings, singing in local groups or playing cricket.
