Description

One day workshop!

“What does it mean, jellybean?… Even if I knew, I could only know what I thought it meant.” John Chamberlain (1927-2011)

Abstract art may be over one hundred years old as a genre, but it can still baffle and provoke as much as it intrigues and excites. This one-day, practical course in acrylics demystifies the art form by looking at the fundamentals of all painting from an art historical perspective, before guiding participants through the creation of three very different abstract works.

Suitable for all abilities and attitudes (from enthusiasts to doubters, to the plain curious), this course is for anyone who wishes to gain more confidence with their colours as well as their brushwork.
All materials are provided. It would be good to bring your own brushes.

Refreshments are provided but please bring a picnic lunch.

Parking
Please note there is no parking directly at the venue. There is on-road parking in the road opposite or in The Avenue where there is a walk way to the studios. Coldharbour pay and display carpark is a short walk.
