Abstract Painting

This course will take you from a blank canvas to fully realised works of art over the period of 10-weeks. Through 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 levels, from absolute beginner to intermediate to advanced.
