Nottingham Contemporary

Join our introductory workshop to fundamental painting and illustration techniques led by Woosun Choi, inviting you to explore your own visual language through practice.

We will focus on the essentials of brushwork, layering, texture, and composition — learning how to translate ideas and emotions into visual form.

You will be encouraged to observe closely, engage intuitively, and develop technical confidence while discovering the expressive potential of paint.

Workshop Highlights:

• Understanding basic materials and tools (brushes, mediums, surfaces)

• Practicing layering, blending, and texture techniques

• Exploring light, shadow, and depth

• Building a personal visual vocabulary through observational drawing and painting

• Individual feedback and guided practical sessions
