INFORMAL OIL PAINTING DAYS

WEDNESDAY 29TH JANUARY

​

BEING INSPIRED BY WILLIAM SCOTT CBE RA

​

10am - 3.15pm

​​

Throughout his career Scott explored themes of still-life, landscape and the female nude, often they exploring the space between abstraction and figuration.

Working from either photos or from a still life in the studio, we'll be looking at his work and challenging ourselves to see objects as he did and create our own abstracted paintings under the guidance of Rebecca Barnard.

Suitable for those with some experience in oil painting.
