Spring Workshop at Honeycomb Studios

Colour and the Landscape with Ashley Hanson
Friday 9th and Saturday 10th March 2012

Follow the journey from representation to abstraction with renowned colourist and landscape artist Ashley Hanson.  The first part of the course will be spent outside, working directly from the inspiring landscape around Honeycomb. The second part of the course will involve translating and transforming the studies imaginatively and creatively in the studio.  During the 2 days, Ashley will discuss and demonstrate colour, mark-making and composition and the possibilities in painting and introduce the work of several artists who have made their own very personal visions of the landscape.
Ashley specializes in oils; however you are free to work in whatever medium you prefer. This course is suitable for students of all abilities. Ashley was selected for the 2011 Royal Academy Exhibition and has exhibited widely. Galleries include Edgar Modern, Bath, The Belgrave, St. Ives and the Campden Gallery in the Cotswolds. He is also a visiting lecturer at Canterbury Christchurch University and the National Academy of Art, Bergen, Norway.

Ashley Hanson Painting holidays 2012
Following the success of his first Cornwall painting holiday in April 2011,  offering the opportunity of 2 painting holidays for 2012, in April and September. This year the holiday includes an extra night’s accommodation, (making it a 5 night holiday), all lunches, other extras and 4 fully tutored painting days, offering excellent value for money. Each painting holiday is slightly different with some new exciting locations however the original concept remains the same, a unique opportunity to spend 2 days working on location in Cornwall’s stunning coastal landscape followed by 2 full days developing the painting’s and ideas further in a studio set in a sleepy village high on Bodmin Moor.

Next Life Drawing Workshop Monday 6th February

Our monthly Life Drawing group is growing and this month we had 7 artists all working in a variety of media and there was good working atmosphere in the studio, with people sharing ideas and knowledge.  Everyone enjoyed the challenge of the continuous movement drawings to get warmed up, before working on a series of short poses and finishing off with a half hour pose; experimenting with mark making and interpreting the amazing areas of light and dark on the model from the wonderful natural light source we have in the studio. Our next Life Drawing workshop will be on Monday 6th February 10.30 - 12.30.   We agreed next month it would be valuable to spend a little time at the end of the workshop to look at each others work. Please get in contact if you would like to join us.
