What it's about:
We take inspiration from concrete images such as landscapes, flowers, still lifes, textiles, portraits etc. that you bring with you in the form of photos, magazine cuttings or originals.
We paint small sketches with acrylic paint on paper based on the inspiration we bring with us and look closely at the original. We become more and more confident and relaxed in our realisation and gradually leave out details. You decide which degree of abstraction you prefer. This can range from very concrete or figurative to completely abstract.
We paint the selected sketch on a canvas. **You choose the size of the canvas and let me know which format you would like to paint on when you register for the course. I'll show you how to assemble the stretcher frame and cover it with canvas.
We experience something new being created, the sketch is part of the process and has served as inspiration. The painting on the canvas becomes an independent and new work.
I will guide you at all times in terms of composition, brushstroke and colour.

We delve into the topic of abstraction and discuss renowned abstract artists from both the past and present. You enjoy the freedom of abstract painting, you transform your inspirations, focus purely on color, composition and brushstroke. You will learn about the properties of acrylic paints, their composition and the many ways in which they can be used. You will build your own canvas by assembling the stretcher frame and covering it with canvas. You explore your personal color preferences and play in familiar and unfamiliar areas. Movement will play a significant role as you find your rhythm and flow. You will receive guidance and support throughout the entire artistic process, from the first sketch on paper to assembling the canvas and completing your painting.
