Dive into the world of Rapid Painting, where creativity meets speed and expressive freedom! This workshop explores the techniques, inspirations, and emotions of "painterly" artists—those whose bold strokes and dynamic approaches bring life to the canvas.

Discover the visual language that moves us and the heroes of expressive art who push boundaries and defy conventions.

Through hands-on practice, you’ll experiment with rapid brushwork, channelling the intensity, spontaneity, and raw energy of renowned painters. Embrace the thrill of excess and exclusion, developing your unique style as you feast on inspiration and create impactful works that capture the moment!
