About Course
Thursday evenings 6-9pm 18 May to 20 Jul 2023
On this 8 week online course Dan Coombs will demonstrate some of the techniques and devices required to paint from the imagination. Often it is quite difficult to find a way in to working from the imagination. How can you create a parallel world in painting, one that expresses the unconscious, the dream, or the hidden parts of the self? Drawing on many devices developed from surrealism and other twentieth century artists, Dan Coombs will show you ways to break down the boundaries between the real and the imaginary in your work.
Each week will begin with the discussion of a different artist for half an hour. Work will be made in response to this, and the session will end with a discussion of everyone’s work.
