Painting Problems: Into the Woods

Exploring trees and woods as inspiration for contemporary
Painting.

Using sketches, preparatory studies, plus all the digital
Media available, we will explore trees and Woods as subjects in contemporary
Painting.

Over the four weeks, tutor Jenny will set projects to
produce a body of work using various media and approaches. Artists such as Ivon Hitchens, Gustav Klimt, Peter Doig, and
Kurt Jackson will provide inspiration.

This course is suitable for anyone willing to take risks and
Experiment to move their practice forward.

Many different approaches, including abstract
Interpretations, will be encouraged and we'll experiment with a range of media
and techniques, including collage and mixed media. An A4 sketchbook will be kept for reference (provided) and
You are welcome to include some of your Prior work and experimentation if you
Wish to.

Group discussion and positive criticism alongside individual
Support from the tutor will ensure you develop your ideas in a supportive
environment. Optional extended study will be provided each week for those
Who wish to take their ideas further in their own time.
