ABOUT THE COURSE

Weekend Class with Adrian Wiszniewski at the Essential School of Painting

Starting with a day’s visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum on the 9th of June , the aim of this 3 day course is to stimulate conversations both verbally and visually within the group. Questions thrown up will be as rich and varied as the group itself. Work in the studio will be dedicated to the development of ideas, and from these ideas articulate through paint a personal response to a question or questions that arise through your investigation and discourse.
