Are you painting in your home studio and wishing to connect with other artists to sustain your practice?

This live and interactive course gives intermediate and advanced painting students the opportunity to work closely with a professional artist in a mentorship capacity, to enhance their painting practice.

Tonee Messiah guides you in techniques for sustaining your creative inspiration and energy in remote studio settings, with a special focus on developing your individual interests and learning how to translate your ideas into dynamic visual language.

In this course you will find ways to increase your confidence and clarity for self-directed studio time through planning and developing a series of paintings in consultation with Tonee.

She offers many new avenues for directed research and a range of techniques for visual analysis, which help build up an understanding of the vast possibilities for each of your paintings. These include identifying your interests, subject matter, themes and materials, and exploring the creative languages to suit them, as well as executing a suite of artworks.
