Expressive Still Life

In this module, we will look at how to bring Still Life, to life!!

Prepare yourself for abundant colour, mark and energy, and enjoy working with everything from printmaking to collage and painting! From beginning with making loose and expressive monotypes, we will then guide you through how to make your own collage papers, to then using those to make surfaces to work on, and culminating in a large scale expressive painting. We will explore how to use expressive colour and mark to create work that is full of life and energy. This course is ideal for anyone who loves colour and materials!

This course is suitable for everyone from a keen amateur to a practicing Artist – tasks can be taken at your own pace and there are always options to build in more work if you want to.
