Focus and Gathering – Painting for All, will explore gathering and focus. From watercolour application technique to working in more impasto passages. Acrylic paints offer a choice of approaches. We will look at building individual source material through notebook work and gathering visual aids. We will explore a range of application techniques that build confidence and skill with rendering line and plane, colour interactions, brush stroke, and compositional considerations.
