Course level: Intermediate and advanced
Course Cost: €380

In this course, Salvatore and Zsolt will work with course participants on composing their paintings using multiple photographic references with the objective of making a legible image.

Salvatore and Zsolt work in different ways, which will complement each other for the purpose of this course. Salvatore will assist artists in composing their painting, while Zsolt will focus on priming and paint application techniques, including a mediums tutorial, and let the participants experiment with specialist materials such as marble dust, impasto medium etc. There will be time dedicated to both group and individual tuition.

The aim of the course, rather than completed paintings, are paintings that have a promising start which you will want to complete in your own studio after the workshop. Rather than teaching you how to paint, Zsolt and Sal propose to help you improve your own way of working through information, and guided practice as well as an insight in their processes.

* The course takes place in Artform’s modern light-filled seaside studio with 24hr access for each visiting artist, and runs from 11am to 5pm on the first day and from 10am to 4pm on the second day. Cost does not include accommodation, on request Artform offers artist accommodation options. Details on art materials and studio safety will be provided after signing up to the course.
