A NEW APPROACH WED 5TH OCTOBER 2022 £40.00 FOR THE DAY ACRYLICS AND COLLAGE
Sketching out in the garden in fine -- particularly trees or working from a still life in the studio.
An exciting new approach working back into a prepared background. If you are daunted by facing a clean white page of paper and wondering where to start, this can be a good way of moving forward. Students will be creating a textured background with a combination of paint and mark making with some crazy new tools! Looking at the negative spaces and painting them onto the prepared background and developing your painting from there. Possibly adding a bit of collage. This workshop is suitable for beginners and intermediate students

LEPORELLOS (CONCERTINA SKETCHBOOKS) - FIGURES AND FACES WED 28th SEPTEMBER 2022 £40.00 FOR THE DAY MIXED MEDIA
We will be sketching each other outside in the wonderful 4 acre garden if fine, if not in the studio. Whole figure, part figure or portrait. This is a fun project - you do not need to be an expert in life drawing or portraiture! It is more about what you do with them using mixed media and collage. You can bring along any images of figures and faces from magazines and newspapers, old life drawings, prints, photocopies etc. Also, any collaging papers in colours or interesting textures. This workshop is suitable for beginners and intermediate students.
PLACES AVAILABLE
A suggested art materials list will be sent out before the date of the workshop so that you have an idea of what to bring.
