Abstract Expressionism: Gestural Painting
Description
Abstract Expressionism values movement and feeling over realistic subjects, and this course explains how to paint in that spirit. The first lessons introduce the movement, the materials you need and the basics of colour theory for expressing mood.
You then read about gestural brushwork, building texture and depth with palette knives, and drip and pour techniques that balance control with chance. Later lessons deal with composition and balance, finding a personal style and how to critique and refine your own work. The course ends with a lesson on completing a first abstract piece. The PDFs contain a number of painting exercises to try at your own pace.
Who it is for: adults new to painting who want to explore expressive, abstract work.
