We will then work in a series of paintings on paper and hard board panels, using many techniques and painting tools.
Developing your subject, simplifying and abstracting as we go. You will learn about the 9 stages of creativity and how to create strong compositions and personal colour which will become your own unique style of wild creative joyful and exciting expression.
