CLOUDS, a workshop in painting towards abstraction

As painters, we notice abstraction in everyday things, like the clouds above us. In this workshop, we will paint towards abstraction, using clouds as our inspiration. It’s also an opportunity to learn about the different types of clouds and how to identify them.

Artists we’ll look at during this session: Tomas Saraceno (b. 1973), Pedro Figari (1861-1938), Paul Signac (1863-1935) and Jadé Fadojutimi (b.1993).

CLOUDS is session 8/9 of our Spring/Summer Term. Full list of workshops on our website here.
