Overview

Using the medium of your choice, you will be encouraged to explore your own personal working methods whilst cultivating your individual expression and visual language. Particular emphasis will be placed on developing a painting from reference material, as well as the evaluation and evolution of a composition.

There will be no projects and no limitations. Your tutor; sensitive to each student's unique needs, will actively encourage variety and individuality. Short talks and lectures will be given throughout the course in relation to artists and techniques as well as information on preparation for exhibiting.
