Recharge Your Art - Painting
Part One
About: This course is for those who feel in need of a "refresher" and is aimed at both rusty returners and more experienced artists looking for some fresh input, inspiration and perhaps a new way in.
To kick off we will be returning to the basics of colour mixing and then build from there with some fresh approaches to painting using collage, mark making and experimental drawing to encourage you to respond to your subject matter and explore paint in different ways.
We will be working from a mixture of natural and man made objects all of which will be easily accessible to you at home.
In addition to the session time you will be given a set task to encourage you to continue practicing independently throughout the week.
Part Two
About: This is for those "graduates" of part one or for those who are confident with the basics of painting and are keen to continue pushing boundaries and experimenting with new and different approaches.
The focus for part two is once again going to be about feeding and inspiring ideas for painting only this time using photography as a starting point and then through a process of deconstruction and reconstruction developing on from there towards a more abstract conclusion.
As with part one In addition to the session time you will be given a set task to encourage you to continue practicing independently throughout the week.
