Exploring the use of Source Material (Mondays for Four Weeks)

Exploring the use of source material, whether it be photographs, sketches and studies, memories or ideas, this course will help us recognize what is driving our desire to paint something. Understanding the intent, and how to use and translate the source material to achieve it, helps us communicate more effectively with the viewer and induce a response in them. Whether there is a story or narrative element, a celebration of observation, or the creation of a mood or atmosphere, using the material tools and the skills we have at our disposal will help us to create our best work.
