About this course

The course shows you how to communicate visually with suggestions rather than trying to describe everything in precise details. You will benefit from this course as your style of painting will become looser, full of energy and colour. Experiment the pure joy of mark-making by playing with colour and texture.

Learn how to express yourself creatively. You will know how to work in a spontaneous manner often using large brushes to make sweeping gestural marks and different painting techniques.

Over the duration of the course, we will look at:

• Artist research

• Working out innovative, dynamic compositions

• Using a bright, colourful palette, with an expressive application of paint and responsive mark making

• Painting techniques: impasto, scumbling, sgrafitto and dry brush

• Surface preparation& varnishing

To participate on this course, you will need:

40 x 50 cm Stretched canvas/ Canvas board, acrylic paper/sketch pad, Cadmium Red, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Yellow, Lemon Yellow, Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Umber, and Titanium and Zinc White acrylic paint, white acrylic gesso, palette, glycerin, spray bottle, a range of synthetic paint brushes, graphite pencils, metal palette knife, silicone spatula, baby wipes, cotton rags, charcoal, inks, coloured pencils, pastels
