Art tutor: Robert Allen

A series of one-day abstract painting courses for any ability. Book one day or build your practice with all three.

Robert will show you his process of working in the landscape to produce abstract paintings inspired by Jersey seascapes. You will start by working outside producing drawings and paintings of the surrounding beach, cliffs and sea off Greve de Lecq. You will gather visual ideas to turn into a canvas painting back in the studio at Greve de Lecq Barracks.

The intention of the course is to help you find a style of art making that encompasses an understanding of artistic formal qualities, mixed with the freedom of visual experimentation that abstraction offers and an outcome that describes the sensation of the Jersey coastline.

All art materials included, plus you take home your very own 50-page sketchbook. Each day is £130 to attend, includes exquisite Binney & Boarder catering. Available dates are:

Sunday 22 Jun, 10am to 5pm
Sunday 13 Jul, 10am to 5pm
Sunday 14 Sep, 10am to 5pm
