In this workshop participants will explore a process led approach to making abstract expressionist landscapes using mixed media on paper. Working on several pieces simultaneously, we will experiment with mark making, collage and layering of paint to create semi- abstract landscapes that evoke a sense of real or imagined places. This workshop is for anyone who wants to introduce some spontaneity into their painting practice. At the end of the workshop participants will have a developed a collection of samples for future reference and several resolved works on paper.
