Join us for a special morning of self portraiture with artist Dan Cimmermann!
Using ourselves as the subject, and working from 'life' with a mirror, guest tutor Dan will guide our group through creating abstract backgrounds on paper (using various dry media, layers of paint and collage) to then build a contemporary Self Portrait, using monoprint and acrylic paint.
Creative expression, experimentation, playing with texture, colour and composition sit at the heart of this workshop.
All materials provided.
