Take Full Control of Your Camera – Photography Class with Ian Southerin

Wednesday, 18 September 2019 by CHaCAdmin

A camera is a tool that we use to take pictures. To create great photographs, we need to know how to use our camera properly. In a similar way a cabinet maker uses a chisel to create great furniture, the chisel doesn’t make the furniture it’s the skill of the cabinet maker. He controls the chisel.

If you don’t know how to control your camera, you will find producing great photographs very difficult. We can teach you how to take control of your camera.

Modern cameras have lots of different modes for exposure and focus, unfortunately this makes the modern camera difficult to understand. Do you understand all of the buttons and dials on your camera?

We will teach you how to use focus. We will teach you how to get the correct exposure every time. We will teach you how to take photographs in difficult conditions. We guarantee that you will learn some very useful skills including how to create ‘blurry’ backgrounds, freezing motion and getting things sharp from front to back.

This course runs from The Chester Art Centre. We will be using Chester as our backdrop. The day will start with a 90 minute classroom session then it is out into town putting into practice what we have learnt. We will then return to the classroom for a debrief and to revue our photographs.

This course is beneficial to beginners and the more advanced photographer. We teach in our unique way that inspires and keeps the interest of everyone.

Just turn up with any camera that has a ‘manual’ setting.

Our teacher Ian is a professional full-time photographer, who has won many awards and truly loves his profession.  You can view some of his work on his website:

Watercolour Workshop with Jocelyn – FULLY BOOKED!!!

Thursday, 20 June 2019 by CHaCAdmin

Extremely happy to have Jocelyn back!

NEXT Contemporary Watercolour Workshop

20 July 2019, 1 PM – 3 PM

Suited to all levels who want to either learn a modern approach to watercolours or to learn how to loosen up and enjoy this wonderful media.

We will be painting an animal as usual as it’s fun and relatively easy!

£25 per person, all materials provided!

Jocelyn is a Welsh Artist living on the North Wales Coast. She started out in watercolours 12 years ago although she has been drawing all my life. Jocelyn  began her Fine Art Degree with Bangor University in 2009.

“My inspiration for painting comes from the wildlife and animals that surround us every day. Each animal or bird has its own quirks and character which can be brought out with colour, adapting my painting techniques to suit each one I hope to give it life and energy. Colour is a wonderful tool to reflect emotion and mood and therefor my paintings are an emotional response to this delightful subject.

My watercolour workshops allow me to share my passion and to help others to relax and enjoy the process of creating art”.
