Over this exciting three-day course we will be drawing, cutting, collaging, editing, evaluating, analysing and painting our way to create a path to abstraction using sunflowers as a subject matter. We will be exploring the Notan theory and focusing on seeing tonal colour, elements of composition, shape and tone. All levels welcome, including beginners.

Starting with careful observation and a loose still-life drawing of sunflowers we will then create a collage using the Notan theory in tonal papers. On days 2 and 3 we will take our ‘Notan’ piece and abstract it further: you can then choose to work in either acrylics, oils, watercolour, collaged papers or mix your media. With each piece that is created you will be encouraged to find your own unique style.

Parking is available in front of the school in the school car park, on the street and in the village hall car park nearby. Complimentary refreshments are available throughout the day. Please bring a packed lunch.
