Events and Workshops

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 with my theme being landscapes for this demonstration.
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.

Attending this demonstration as a visitor (£5 admission)

Now FULL, but if you would like to go on the waiting list please use the contact details below.
You will complete a painting as well as experimenting with various techniques throughout the day. We will be allowing some edges to touch, dropping in colours and perhaps using oil pastel or wax resist resulting in either a realistic subject or a more contemporary painting depending on if you choose to add other media.
We will be working in small sections at a time making this an ideal subject to learn “edge control” or alternatively you can go bold, it’s up to you. Everyone’s work will be unique. We will be using fresh flowers as reference in a variety of colours and there will be paintings on display to inspire you.
You will be able to work in the size you prefer, although I shall be demonstrating on paper 1/4 Imperial (11 x 15 inches)

Josephine Neil is our wonderful host, providing us all with teas coffees and home made cake as well as a delicious lunch in the dining room. All you need to bring with you are your art materials and enthusiasm to enjoy our day.
