New Work - Sara Bor

These two pieces, Nanjizal study 1 and 2 are from a body of work, informed by the Ashley Hanson workshops I have attended during last year and reflect apon the changeable nature of the Cornish coast.

I hope to have work included in 3 exhibitions during the Spring  'Coast and Colour' at Bodmin Shire Hall  2nd - 23rd February 2012, which is an exhibition of work produced by students who have attended Ashley Hansons colour workshops during 2011. The Spring 2012 Contemporary Art Exhibition Redearth Gallery, near Tiverton, 21st April -13th May 2012 and the Maynard Art Exhibition, in Exeter, 20th -22nd April 2012. 



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.
