D053: Wild Mediums: Loosen Up Your Art: Exploring Oils, Ink and Charcoal

Drawing & Painting

This practical class focuses on using traditional materials—oil paint, ink, varnish, and charcoal—in experimental ways that emphasise process, gesture, and creativity. Through guided exercises and open-ended exploration, learn how to layer, mix, and manipulate these materials to develop personal, expressive works. While some technical instruction will be included, the emphasis is on experimentation, spontaneity, and pushing beyond conventional boundaries. Perfect for those wanting to unlock their creativity or experiment with fresh perspectives in their practice. Tutor demonstrations and personal tuition. Some basic painting and drawing experience would be beneficial.

Students are responsible for purchasing their own materials.
