Creativity and Abstraction with Gabrielle Jones

Description

This workshop will be held over two consecutive Saturdays.

Using observation of real objects, Gabrielle will walk you through a number of exercises, thinking methods, tools and imagination games to develop your ability to make interesting abstract work, move your realistic painting away from the predictable, or improve composition and subject ideas.

Tuition is structured to ensure fast learning and early success and to stimulate creativity and generate ideas for on-going work. Suitable for those wishing to break out of their current painting rut, move from realism to abstraction, or who simply wish to explore abstraction and extend their creativity (view Gabrielle’s website on
