This exhilarating three day course focuses on visual, emotional and physical responses to nature with the aim of engaging with and capturing the essence of the rugged Cornish landscape. Time will be spent out in the dramatic landscape of West Penwith with teaching encouraging students to work with spontaneity and freedom. Students will then develop their work further back at the School studio, with more considered approaches to resolving works. Students will be actively encouraged to use natural materials collected from the landscape including soils and simple tools in their painting process.
