Floribunda Online – Colour and Gesture

Course dates: April 20^th - 22^nd 2022 (Wednesday – Friday) This course will be 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 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.

Feedback

"You have given me such an amazing set of tools and resources to work with as a result of these 4 days. Thanks for the mind shifting possibilities of the course and for giving me something on which to build a painting practice. "
