The course is limited to 12 participants only of intermediate and above level. Starting with a visit to Victoria and Albert Museum on Saturday the aim of the course is to stimulate conversation both verbally and visually within the group. Work in the studio, on Sunday, 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.
