Expressive Painting

The aim of this inspiring course is to free up preconceptions of painting and drawing through play and experimentation to create large scale expressive works. Students will explore a variety of methods in painting and drawing, allowing a personal language to develop through reaction to the local landscape, working from the life model and still life. The course covers the application of paint with brushes, palette knives, hands etc, whilst considering different approaches to mark making, composition, mood, energy, surface, narrative and tonality. A variety of materials will be experimented with including acrylics, charcoal, pencil, mixed media and watercolour. All materials provided by the school. This course was written about in a whole page article in the Saturday Guardian recently. To see the article click HERE
