Some snippets from a course I did for a few days this past week, at The School of Painting in St. Ives Cornwall an absolutely wonderful venue!
I took the 'Harnessing Chance in Painting' class, taught by Kate Southworth, and thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Kate taught about the Alchemy cycle, and related it to the process that an artist can go through, both with each piece of work, and also as an individual over a longer period of time.
One meaning of Alchemy: A seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination.
