Events and Workshops

We are going to enjoy a calm, restful workshop today, the pace will be steady and slow. What we paint depends on what is growing at the time, and the choices we make. I am hoping for hips, berries, thistles, grasses and of course leaves.
We will need to think about composition, what to pair together, if we select more than one stem, how to portray our subjects as a vignette. Drawing skills are important, however i shall demonstrate throughout the day, from the very start of our painting to the final touches. 
I shall bring a variety of foliage with me, and we will be able to forage the hedgerows on the day.

Developing our ideas is the pathway to improve our paintings, and challenging the way we always work can sometimes lead to wonderful discoveries.
This demonstration is intended to illustrate how I develop ideas through layering, using watercolour and drawing techniques. There will be examples of the various stages needed to develop a journal and I will demonstrate those stages from the very start of a project to the finishing touches.
Painting need not always be about producing a finished piece of work to frame and hang on a wall, but instead be a journey to improve the way we feel about painting and what we produce.

Visitors to this demonstration are most welcome, there is a small charge of £5 at the door which includes refreshments.
