Abstract Painting art class

Art lies in the eye of the beholder… but art is also about visual language – the artist as a communicator.

What goes on in the creative mind and how does emotional connection to an artwork, designed to communicate something from inside the artist which they cannot physically see, successfully communicate with others?

This course is designed to enable participants to build a process which they can use as a tool for beginning abstract painting work based on mind-mapping and collage.

There is a huge fun element and an opportunity to reflect and explore colour and form, texture and space in your compositions.

The class

10am-4.30pm. 6 participants. Tea and coffee provided. Light lunch provided.

Please bring your own materials. We can supply materials at a reasonable price, but you would need to let us know in advance.

Resident artist Sinéad Smyth will lead the course.

Accommodation

We have reduced rate accommodation for up to four people at our Artists' Retreat during our art course weekends. It's reduced because the public areas are used by other course participants during the day. If it's already booked, we can recommend other local places to stay.

Contact us for booking and more information as booking is not available on the website for these weekends.
