Explore mixed media techniques using watercolour, gouache, acrylics, inks and soft pastel. We may venture outdoors (weather permitting), painting and drawing in the dramatic Lakeland landscape in order to build up a body of source material to work with, but this course focuses on developing your personal painterly style through exercises in the studio. We will explore our responses to the subject of landscape through processes of abstraction and the use of colour, paying attention to the expressive potential of different forms of mark-making and the responsiveness of different media. An in-depth course aimed at the intermediate level art student and above with good drawing skills and colour knowledge (experience of acrylics not necessary).
