Thursday afternoons / 1.30pm-4pm / 30 April - 21 May
Join Nicole for a 4-week intensive exploring abstract landscapes through drawing and acrylic painting. This course focuses on the essential skills needed to translate your ideas from initial sketches to a fully realized painting.
We will explore foundational drawing techniques, including perspective and composition, and learn how to interpret the world around us in a contemporary, abstract style. Students will develop confidence in acrylic painting, experimenting with layering, colour mixing, texture, and expressive mark-making.
The term culminates in a completed acrylic artwork, bringing together the drawing and painting techniques explored in class. Suitable for all skill levels, this course encourages creativity, personal expression, and developing your own visual style.

Nicole Black is an artist based in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. She holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts in painting and drawing (2011) from the University of South Australia and an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design (2014). She is currently working full time as an artist dividing her time between fine art, murals and commercial projects.
Her artwork is primarily centred around the craving to be immersed in the natural environment. After a five year chapter spent living in the inner northern suburbs of Melbourne, the importance of nature in her everyday life was emphasised. Returning to her home town in Adelaide in 2017, she witnessed the environment in a new light. Painting both the micro and macro of the surrounding environment, Nicole works across mixed mediums to capture her emotional attachment to these spaces and details. Her work draws upon the memory of these places, with journalling and photography playing an integral part of the documentation and understanding of colour, form and light.
She has long held a fascination with the ‘ebb and flow’ laws that exist within the life cycles of the natural world. In her paintings, drawings and murals she explores the juxtaposition of detail versus abstraction as well as the magic that is not always apparent to the naked eye.
Whilst representing the details of natural flora has been of importance, the abstract elements in her work are exaggerated to convey the emotions around the places she aims to capture.
She has been involved with numerous group exhibitions, a handful of solo exhibitions as well the curation of exhibitions. On the side of personal and commercial projects, Nicole has shared her love for the creative process through ongoing workshop and teaching appointments.
