Course Description

The course contains aspects that develop creativity and imagination by beginning with the basic elements of art. Throughout the 8 weeks we discover a new artist each week, we develop a routine for artistically "limbering" up and explore the colour wheel and colour mixing and how that relationship drives our work. We explore technique, experimentation and improvisation. About the Tutor: Rob Forlani is from Perth and splits his year between Perth and Italy. He has been practicing for more than 20 years and has developed a following across Australia, Europe, and USA. Known for his bold application of color and texture, Forlani’s canvasses are filled with shapes that at first seem familiar but suggest a parallel world reachable only through the imagination. In a lustrous palette and a musical style of tempered expressionism, Forlani paints abstract images inspired by the colors and forms from the world around us and by the thoughts and theories, emotions, and daydreams from within. What you need to bring Primary colour paint ie red, yellow, blue and white. Either acrylic or oil. Sketch book, charcoal and soft pencils. Assorted brushes plus one large for background painting. Stretched canvas.
