Natural and Un-natural History: Drawing and Painting

This course explores how artists are inspired to work from natural objects.

After a couple of sessions making works based on observation, we’ll go on to create more abstract works involving pattern, before finding ways of adding an imaginative or surreal twist. Reference artists to include John Ruskin, Peter Randall Page, Sophie Munns, Magritte.
