Wednesday Evenings
10 weeks course £250 – Half term 17th February 2021
In this course we will look at artists who examine the everyday such as Wayne Theibaud, Alex Katz and Eduard Manet. We will look at our own everyday, our immediate surroundings and situations. We will make drawings outside and of our commute, of our morning and evening routines. Then we will make more ambitious paintings that examine the oddness and interest inherent within the everyday.
The course will be conducted on Zoom in a small class size of 10 to allow for a good amount of tutor time. Our online evening classes fill up quickly so if you are interested in this course we advise early booking to avoid disappointment. If you have any questions please email admin@theesop.com
