À propos de l'événement

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is composed of 9 classes of 2.5 hours each, every Monday between 1pm and 3.30pm, from the 13th of July until the 7th of September. Each class is dedicated to a series of techniques, skills and personal explorations. You will learn about ink painting, various techniques of stamping and collage. You will also learn about classic and contemporary flower masters and how they have pushed the boundaries of floral representation in their own work.

- You are an experienced or an amateur artist willing to expand your own practice

- You are creatively independent and want to move beyond the fundamentals of floral painting
