Course Description

Join Emma Petitt for her first course here at the Jeanne Oliver Creative Network! Create deeply personal portrait and figurative work that moves away from the generic or 'pretty'.

Using gesture and contrast we learn to embrace the Imperfections and find beauty in the flaws. With this course you will learn to abstract and distort, play with fluid marks and texture, find figures that constantly evolve and remove the need for preciousness.
Discover ways to bring looseness and emotion into your work using an array of materials. Sometimes raw and unrefined but always expressive.
