THE ROS PSAKIS ART GROUP
Classes began in August 2001 at the Ramsgate Progress Hall. The aim of the class was to provide tuition and
inspiration to beginner and advanced painters alike.
The class has grown since its beginnings and is now made up of some very competent painters who have made
amazing progress in their painting. They have shown that when the rules are studied and understood, natural
progression takes a painter onto evolving their own indivual style.
The method of teaching in my class is to explore the endless possibilites of the three primary colours, the
observance of tone in its strong contrasts and close subtleties. We study the basic shapes and line of drawing
and look at lighting, composition, brushwork and colour mixing.
Workshops are conducted on the first of each month, where the class work through a painting together.
Subject matter covers landscapes, figures, animals, still life, boats, seascapes, etc etc. On other days of the
month, students choose their own subjects.
As the tutor, I am immensely proud of the work produced by the students of this class. I am inspired by them.
I am constantly amazed and delighted by their fresh, honest paintings and I am grateful to them for their
cheerful company. They regularly surprise me with their speedy progress and I find myself learning from them.
Come and join us and discover the joys of painting.
