This course is new for Summer school and takes elements from my online workshops, of the same name. You will be deconstructing, reconstructing and abstracting in the process.
Subject matter will include both observational drawing from life (I will ask you to provide one or two simple objects to work from) and landscape, from your own resource material. The idea is to simplify or pare down imagery to component parts and to put them back together again! Not so straightforward maybe, but a way to capture your ideas in an abstract piece – interesting, thoughtful and fun.
You will be drawing and painting, cutting and fitting together, learning about colour and composition.
