Towards Abstraction with Clare Purser is a course suitable for individuals interested in adopting a more open approach to painting and exploring new methods of translating observations into abstract artwork. Using oil or acrylic paint, Clare will guide participants in developing their own abstract language that reflects on the world around them. Through a series of experimental exercises, the course will delve into alternative ways of utilizing colour, composition, and mark-making. Beginning with studies of figures, landscapes, or still life, Clare will demonstrate how to draw inspiration from these subjects. Add the course will examine artists such as Elizabeth Cummings, Willem de Kooning, and Joan Mitchell to gain insight into how these artists have incorporated abstraction into their painting practices. This course is suitable for anyone interested in abstract painting, regardless of their previous experience.
