This class is hands on and good for those who need an antidote to office based work. You will be taken through a step by step process to create your own beautiful artwork to take home. 

Unlike classes in figurative drawing, this class requires no previous experience or skill! There will be no frustration about "Making it look like the picture" because in this class it does not have to resemble anything. It is pure indulgence in colour and shape. 

This class is a fun introduction. If you enjoy it, you can sign up for a weekly class that will take you through more topics such as...

- Embracing Chaos... how to make peace with chaotic energy in a composition. 
- Connecting with Colour... think about how you are attracted to and repelled by colours and why. 
- The Absurd!  ... Look at how memes and art function in a similar way. Learn to think weirdly to make your art stranger. 
- Joan Miro... Why Miro painting are so good and how recreate his techniques. 
- How to keep a sketch book... connecting with your inner world through drawing. 
- And many more to come....

Rosa is a painter from New Zealand. She graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2018. She has lead the RCA reach out programme as well as various adult workshops. Her paintings combine abstraction and whimsical figurative drawings. They take inspiration from modernism and surrealism and explore autobiographic experience.
