This is a 3-day course that will cover the basics of working from the figure expressively. The figure will be used as a focal point to work with expressive techniques, for example - large brushes, palette knives, hands, rags and any other mark-making tool. The removal of paint in this project is as important as the application. This project is particularly aimed at those students who feel the need to free up, and to those who have a basic knowledge which they wish to advance.
At the end of the course students will have a series of preliminary charcoal drawings and small paintings on paper and a finished painted canvas.
