This fun and challenging 2 day intensive Expressive Painting workshop is aimed at adult students who wish to understand techniques in abstraction, composition, expressive brush marks and use of colour. This workshop is for students with some experience. We will use landscape as subject matter over the 2 days to demonstrate concepts that can be used across all genres. Experienced tutor and professional artist Ochre Lawson will facilitate the workshop using both demonstrations and references to master artists to guide students through structured processes.
