The term ‘abstract’ in painting, is a general description of art which is not directly representational.  An artist can move a small way towards the abstract by, for example, altering the shapes or colours of objects.  Or the whole way by allowing the painting to be entirely about the essence of the chosen subject, without regard to the physical appearance.

Within our abstract course, participants will learn the set of rules required for producing abstract art, by exploring creative and expressive qualities of line, colour, tone, texture, composition and collage.
