The course aims to provide painters with a community and mentoring whilst actively engaging with painting language, opening doors to untried possibilities. Inject your practise with inspiration, try new approaches and materials such as resin and encaustic. As part of an artist’s community of twelve you will be encouraged to participate in a discourse about contemporary painting while grounding methods and ideas in your own experience. You will be given stimulating looking, watching and reading lists and at the end of course invited to attend and participate in the End of Year Student Exhibition.
This course is suitable for Intermediate to advanced participants.
Fee: £1750
The course is designed for those with some prior experience of painting. You may be self-taught or you may even have been to art school. With painting these distinctions no longer hold. Many artists who have been to art school in recent years would like to paint but were not given the technical and/or intellectual support to do so and would therefore turn to other mediums. However once taken by the desire to paint it is hard to shake off. If you are in this category either The Foundation Painting Year or The Painting Year will provide you with what you need, to learn about, practise and develop your painting.
