Wednesday evenings 6pm to 9pm
In this course we will look at artists who examine the everyday. 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.
RETURNING STUDENTS: Whereas we may look again at artists like Wayne Theibaud, Alex Katz and Eduard Manet we will be looking at a new set of artists during the course.
The course will be conducted on ZOOM in a small class size of 10 to allow for a good amount of tutor time.
Fee £220
Please note our online evening classes fill up quickly so if you are interested in this course we advise early booking to avoid disappointment.
