Saturday and Sunday 10am to 5pm
This course aims to explore contemporary abstract painting through preparatory explorative drawings leading to finished paintings whilst looking at various approaches to painting encompassing the traditional and the more specific artist idiosyncratic use of painting materials, concepts, visual playfulness and witticisms that has underpinned and driven the production of some of the familiar iconic abstract pictures that we now encounter in our daily lives as popular posters on our walls, in text books and in art galleries and museums.
£160
This course is suitable for anyone who is interested in painting uppermost and is open to exploring non-figurative picture making processes, to experiment, explore and conjure at the juncture where thought mingles with the practical stuff of paint on canvas to create awe and magic. And is suitable for the absolute beginner through to the abstract-curious, abstract-critical or even the figuration-bound artist who is seeking re-examination and new horizons.
