Abstract Painting

This course will guide you to make resolved abstract pieces of art over the period of 4 weeks.

Through analysing abstract painters, individual practice and demonstrations, you will explore the fundamental approaches to abstract painting, such as: colour, line, scale and texture. Working from photographs, objects and memory, you will be able to develop your own unique visual language and style in a fun and contemporary way.

This course is suitable for all skills, from absolute beginners to intermediate and to advanced painters.
