Suitable for all levels
Bring the landscape to life through composition, colour and gesture.
This course is an investigation of painting landscape in the studio environment, working from a varied source of reference materials over the 9 weeks. Explore the translation of three-dimensional space into two-dimensional marks, observing space, form, tone and colour. This course will help you develop a strong creative practice based in drawing and painting with innovative approaches introduced each week. Work with your preferred paint medium or discover new materials. This is an opportunity to experiment and push beyond representation – to create expressive, personal interpretations of landscape.
