ONLINE: Intuitive Abstract Painting: Exploring process and narrative with Alexander James Pollard and Johanna Melvin: 3rd May to 28th June 2020

Online: Alternate Sundays 10.30am to 4.30pm

Please note due to the ongoing pandemic we have transitioned all our classes to online teaching as soon as we can return to studio we will do that. Meanwhile our rates have been adjusted (downward) to reflect this. As soon as we can return to studio we will do so with no additional cost to your fee.

Prepare yourself for full immersive days incorporating experimentation, playfulness, technical guidance and discussion designed to develop you as an abstract painter. The course offers a fortnightly forum in which you will be encouraged to build your practice and understanding of Intuitive Abstract Painting guided by Alexander James Pollard (pictured on left), Johanna Melvin (pictured below) and guest tutors.

Tutorials will be focused on developing personal areas of inquiry as well as painting methods, knowledge of processes and materials.  The course is aimed at helping you to build confidence and understanding relating to intuitive abstract painting and the contexts and historical knowledge associated with it.

Through a comprehensive set of fortnightly days in your own working space you have one to one tutorials and group crits that will improve your confidence, practise and understanding relating to intuitive abstract painting. We will help you formulate a practical research area, developing skills and techniques for producing and displaying intuitive abstract painting.
