Our warm-up lesson is all about play and exploration. We will begin by choosing a small selection of colours. We will experiment mixing different combinations adding the colours directly to the canvas. Next we’ll play with our tools. We’ll ask questions such as: What marks can be made with each? Are there unconventional ways to use the tools to create new and interesting marks or textures? When we reach the end of part one we will have a big, beautiful mess on the canvas. Not to worry though! In part 2 of the warm-up we’ll add some new layers and create a beautiful finished piece.
