CDS member Nina Burgess will be leading an art course, Paint Like Turner, at the Duxford Community Centre starting on the 17th of April.

The greatest painter that England has ever produced”. J.M.W. Turner was a great artist. His work changed the art world forever and continues to have a profound impact today.

Fiery skies, turbulent seas, stillness of early morning. During this 12-week course you will learn to see and capture the drama of colour and light. We will look at Turner’s personal journey and get into the mind of the great artist. You will learn to work with new art tools and techniques and will create a range of artworks inspired by Turner’s paintings.

We will use a combination of watercolour and gouache and will experiment with using different kinds of paper. The group is friendly and supportive, we all help each other. There is a lovely café in the building and parking is free.

This course is perfect for beginners as well as experienced painters looking to refresh and improve their art skills. There will be time for step-by-stem demonstration, painting practice, and discussion. The lessons are packed with useful information and are tailored to help improve confidence and technique.
