About this event

Each week you will be exploring and experimenting with acrylic paint, this will include: composition, staining, and dragging paint, pattern and shape, simplifying and optical effects

You will be encouraged to use a sketchbook at home and in your own time to record notes, sketches, colours and ideas in preparation for your classes.

You will be learning about the work of contemporary abstract painters to inspire and enrich your own explorations and discoveries.

Claire will provide exercises, demonstrations, inspiration and subject matter for this course.

By the end of the 6 sessions you will have a sketchbook bursting with ideas, have made many experimental paintings and will feel more confident and knowledgable about contemporary abstract painting.
