COURSE DESCRIPTION
Responding to the Shropshire landscape, this practical course invites you to explore the surface and physical presence of a painting.
Working with acrylics, mediums, charcoal, pencils, sandpaper and wire wool on artist panels, you’ll experiment with layering, colour, and mark-making through carving, engraving and eroding.
You’ll be encouraged to take creative risks, reflect, and develop a more tactile, embodied understanding of painting — through both process and material.
