Uli Zwerenz - Painting — from a splash of paint to a picture (Week 2)

Course description Through open-ended work that starts with the process of applying paint, opportunities for individual image creation are to be experienced. The dialogue between imagination and perception is intended to open up space for change and expansion of one's own painting. The course begins with an introduction to the production of paints from pigments and binding agents. Various systems are shown: acrylic paints, egg tempera and oil paints. During the course, you can work with ready-made paints or with paints you have prepared yourself. The basics of painting techniques and questions are explained. The relationships between the structure of the image, the composition and the colors are to be questioned and developed during the painting process. By recognizing and avoiding arbitrariness, you should find your own way to find and create an autonomous painting. The support is provided individually and through group discussions. A two-week course is recommended. The course is aimed at advanced students.
