On this course students will begin by observing simple plant forms; pot plants, branches and stems that have been liberated alongside natural forms of all shapes and sizes will act as inspiration. Through the use of experimental drawing methods you will draw from direct observation paying particular attention to the character and personality of the form. The course will develop a playful sense of composition by drawing and overlapping to see what shapes arrives from combining images and media. From this a colour palette will be chosen to build a mixed media painting that has the same sense of expression as the initial direct drawings. The origins of the drawings created from observation will give potential to develop into more abstracted forms. If plants and natural forms bring you joy then this course is for you, beginner or experienced artists alike, all welcome.
