Colour, Abstraction and Still Life: take a line for a walk!

Working in an abstract way from the imagination to start with, participants will experience total freedom in mark making, use of colour, texture and materials. Once this feeling of freedom is established, still life objects will be introduced.
Freedom to explore will be encouraged. Detail will not be an issue at first. Instead, “take a line for a walk”. Discovery will come from experimentation. One aim is to become familiar with the still life objects and feel uninhibited in referring to them in drawing and
painting. The other aim is to feel free to create images, which in themselves work in an abstract way and do not necessarily refer
directly to any known subject matter.
Acrylic paint will be the main medium used but drawing, collaging, splashing, scraping, etc, and using any other materials will be
encouraged.
