How does one paint a bunch of flowers and make them ALIVE? Working in oils within the tradition of floral still life, during this 4-week, online, course we’ll be exploring WAYS OF MESSING AROUND WITH PAINT and still landing on our feet!

During Part Two we’ll try out more experimental and playful approaches.

• Week One will begin with drawing, working in charcoal in a direct and gestural manner, exploring space and form though mark and perception.
• Week Two will continue the focus on black and white, working with oils, and exploring how experimentation and risk-taking can lead to unexpected results.
• Weeks Three and Four will work with color and the use of very heavy paint!, as well as non-tonal color.
• During Part Two we’ll look at painters and their use of mark, such as Joan Mitchell , Chaim Soutine and Frank Auerbach.

During each online session, along with the demonstrations, we’ll each be working in our studios and taking time to post to Padlet, reviewing together, sharing our process, and getting constructive feedback.

Materials used in the demonstrations will be oil paint. Participants are welcome to use whichever materials are available and suitable for their at-home situation.

A Mighty Networks Group page will be provided for posting our work, for supportive community and creative sharing. Click HERE.

All sessions will be streamed in HIGH DEFINITION, with 3 camera views, providing greatly increased visual acuity of the painted surface and demonstrations.

All sessions will be recorded, archived and available for repeated viewing.
