Expressive Painting Course - Student's Paintings

The paintings below are by four of the students on my recent Expressive Oil Painting Course. Many thanks to Liz, Kate, Laraine and Andrew for sharing their work.  


On the opening day of the course I asked each student to talk about what expressive painting meant to them and we looked at examples from Fauvism and Expressionism.  We experimented with using our less dominant hand for mark making and created a series of gestural marks using brushes, painting knives and even our own fingers!  The class was then asked to chose a subject close to their heart to create a piece of expressive work over three weeks.
