Oxford Painter Workshop 2008 - painting away...
What You'll Learn
This seminar is a wonderful opportunity for you to stretch yourself creatively on every level. You will explore ways to transform your photographs into paintings using Corel Painter X. You will learn a combination of technical and artistic skills that will open the doors to you fully expressing yourself on the digital canvas. Whether you are a professional photographer wanting to expand your product range or a fine artist wanting to develop in a new medium or you are simply interested in learning Painter X and loosening up your brush strokes, you will find this seminar a stimulating and educational experience.
Oxford Painter Workshop 2008 - tadaa!
I teach an open-minded, outside the box, approach to transforming your imagery that will stretch your image-making muscles and allow your creativity to flow. I take a thorough methodical approach to building up your knowledge and understanding of Corel Painter X, balancing the sharing of information with hands-on project work where you try out the demonstrated techniques on an image of your own. The project work affords you the time to integrate new information and hone your skills. You will get individual feedback in which I share ideas and insights. Enjoy an unforgettable educational and inspiring experience that will bring you pleasure for years to come.
This an all-levels workshop. I will adapt projects to suit both the more advanced Painter users as well as beginners. The class size will be kept small (ten or less) so that everyone will benefit from individual attention. Places will be reserved on a first-come-first-serve basis so register early to guarantee yourself a place.

Accommodation
The college offers rooms within the college for £75.00 for a single ensuite room and £95.00 for a twin room. These room charges need to be paid in advance as part of your registration (the college charges me directly for all student rooms). Please note the college rooms are basic, not luxurious. They offer the benefit of atmosphere and convenience.
For luxury and comfort I recommend The Old Bank Hotel. This is an excellent hotel, situated just five minutes walk from Pembroke College on the High Street above the first class restaurant Quod. The hotel has August special room rates in the range £145 - £175 (which includes breakfast and parking). I have a few rooms reserved for my students - ask for the Jeremy Sutton Group rooms. To reserve contact the hotel directly at +44 (0)1865 79 95 99.

Mixing It Up! —From Traditional to Digital and Back Again
Oxford Internet Institute, 1 St Giles, Oxford, UK
I shall give a talk on the Thursday evening at the Oxford Internet Institute, the day before class. I highly recommend that you plan to attend the talk if you are taking the class since it will be a useful primer and cover many of the techniques and concepts we'll cover in class.
In this talk I will create a live portrait using a combination of media—starting traditionally, then continuing using state-of-the-art digital media (Macintosh MacBook Pro computer, Corel Painter X software and a Wacom Intuos3 A5 tablet) and finally printing out on canvas and working on that with acrylic paint. This talk is free and open to the public. There is limited space so please email or call the Oxford Internet Institute prior to the talk to reserve your place.
