Pre-recorded Online Courses
Once regisered , you can view the films as often as you like and for as long as you need. This pre-recorded course was filmed as 3 days of expressive painting inspired by the abundance and beauty of Spring flowers. The focus for finding a language for our paintings will be through colour and gesture. Working on a series of between 6 – 9 small paintings over the 3 days we will celebrate the colour, the ordered chaos and the scent and joy of the subject. Gathering armfuls of colours and marks from the inspiration of the flowers to work with we will compose them by layering, selecting, editing, simplifying and inventing. The paintings will be an exploration into how to capture the life, light, delicacy and poetry of the subject. In the end the paintings themselves will become the subject. This course is edited from the live Floribunda 2, delivered in April 2021. It is split into 2 films per day, each approximately up to an hour long. There is no feedback given.

You can start this course anytime between Nov 1st 2021 – December 31st 2025. You can view the films as often as you like and for as long as you need. Pattern is all around us. We wear it, live amongst it in our homes, cities and in the landscape. Its one of the ways in which we differentiate between things, and nature rewards us for being good at spotting it with intense visual pleasure.
Patterned cloth plays games with all of this, disguising and revealing, it responds to form and gravity and movement, it seems to be the perfect combination of the synthetic and the natural.
On this course you will be encouraged to make a series of shaped, painted and collaged relief constructions. Working with packaging cardboard, patterned cloth and acrylic paint you will make works that leave the flat rectangle behind to explore a more dynamic relationship with the wall, the architecture and the viewer.

It can be difficult to see how to use the drawings we make. Whether loose notes in a sketchbook or more complete and considered, our initial drawings often have a life and spark that is easily extinguished in the studio. This course will start with your own draw-ings made from the landscape, maybe from your garden, a local park or street, the beach or from a favourite walk and will look at different ways they can inspire a free and experi-mental approach to the painting process.
