with Sasha DeWitt

Want to give abstract painting a go, but don’t know where to start?

This fun and experimental course aims to introduce you to the basic methods of creating abstract paintings taking inspiration from the Fenland landscapes. Each week to build our knowledge we’ll do practical exercises where we learn different techniques and painting methods. We’ll also study a variety of different artists and the methods they used to create abstracted landscapes.   By the end of the course, you will be able to use the methods taught to create a painting that uses composition, colour and intentions to capture the essence of the Fens in abstract.

This course will promote discussion and the sharing of ideas within the group. Peer-to-peer learning is a vital part of all of my courses.  Each week learners are encouraged to share their work with each other in a safe and supportive environment.
