Image, Figure & Abstraction

34 West George St, Glasgow City Center

 £120 per day | £200 weekend pass
 Max 6 participants 
All materials provided

Spend the weekend painting, playing, learning, igniting fun in the process of painting. Using reference images from magazines and your own photographes, this weekend will leave you with the inspiration and materials to have more art in your life. 

Designed for beginners and artists wanting to reignite their creative spark, this guided weekend focuses on process, experimentation, and the joy of making rather than producing polished finished pieces.

Across two relaxed and focused days, we will look closely at how artists work from photography, memory, observation, colour and abstraction - developing confidence through playful, practical making and art historical insight.

Saturday - Scottish Contemporary Figurative Painting
Frances Lucie McGurn & Caroline Walker

Saturday explores two contemporary Scottish painters whose work draws from photography, interiors, figures and everyday life. From the bold confident fast mark making of McGurn to teh considered narrative and composition of Walker. 

Through guided exercises, you will experiment with quick sketches, layering, colour and mark making. Learning how photographs can become expressive painted works.

Sunday - Figure, Memory & Abstraction
Peter Doig & Frank Bowling

Sunday moves from image and memory into colour and abstraction.

Inspired by Scottish artist Peter Doig and Frank Bowling, we will explore atmosphere, layered surfaces, expressive colour and freer approaches to painting, allowing process and material to guide the work.

Throughout the weekend you will build a collection of studies, sketches and exploratory works — creating a personal visual library and discovering new ways of working.
