You will experiment with building strong compositions, creating visual pathways, developing “colour echoes” and refining colour mixing techniques.In week one, Michael will demonstrate some of his preferred colour combinations and approaches to palette building. He will also provide reference material for participants to extract visual ideas and learn from experimental approaches and outcomes.Suitable for painters with some experience, these sessions will encourage curiosity, risk-taking and resourcefulness.By the end of the session, participants will have a fresh perspective on how artists interpret and transform images into paint.PREPARATIONPrepare two or three primed and stretched canvasses or boards, no smaller than A4, preferably larger.
