A NOT SO STILL LIFE with Katie Sollohub 29 - 30 September (Mon-Tues) | £200
Still life does not have to be still. In this course you will be working fast and freely from a moving still life set up in the studio with both drawing and painting materials, and on any surface you like.

| LANDSCAPE & ABSTRACTION
with Nick Bodimeade
8 -10 October (Wed - Fri) | £300 What is landscape? Many artists seek to exploit the parallels that exist between the processes of landscape and those of painting. This course explores landscape painting’s relationship to process based abstraction. Colour, composition, layering and visual atmosphere will all play their part. The aim being to create visual equivalents for landscape rather than straight forward representations. | |
