This course invites artists to move beyond strict realism and explore the creative possibilities of abstraction through both drawing and painting. Using line, shape, colour, texture, composition, and mark-making, participants will learn how to simplify, interpret, distort, and reimagine what they see into expressive abstract artwork. Across six weeks, students will experiment with a variety of materials and approaches while developing their own visual language and artistic confidence. Some exercises will begin with observation from nature, objects, landscapes, or photographs, while others will focus entirely on imagination, emotion, movement, and design. The emphasis is on exploration rather than perfection.
Whether you are completely new to abstraction or looking to loosen up your current style, this course offers a supportive and encouraging environment to experiment, take creative risks, and discover new ways of seeing. Suitable for beginners and experienced artists alike.
