Abstracting the Landscape with Clare Purser takes a fast and loose approach to painting, and is a great course for those wanting to pursue a more intuitive direction in their acrylic painting practice. We will look at ways we can abstract from the landscape using visual material gathered from either photos, sketches or studies. ⁠
By the end of this course, you will have learnt how a painting can evolve and change and doesn’t have to be pre-planned. You will learn how through the process of abstraction we can create paintings that are evocative and suggestive of landscape without being overly descriptive.⁠
⁠
When: Saturday, 28th of March, 10am to 4pm⁠
Ticket price: ⁠
- $100 (RQAS Brisbane Members)⁠
- $120 (non-members)⁠
Location: Main gallery, RQAS Petrie Terrace Gallery (unit 3/162 Petrie Terrace, Brisbane)⁠
Materials list: Please follow link below for materials list.⁠
⁠
Medium experience is desirable (the ability to mix colours independently) and this workshop is best for those ages 18 years and older (15-18 years old is fine with a parent or guardian). Make sure to purchase tickets soon as spaces are limited!⁠
