Exploring some new approaches to drawing both studio based and in the landscape using a variety of both traditional and experimental materials to draw with.

Tea and coffee provided please bring a pack lunch and sketchbooks and drawing materials.  Additional materials will be provided.

Colour & Texture in the Landscape                         November 13th & 14th 10am - 4pm         £80.00

This workshop is structured so that it can either be a continuation for students who have carried out  the October drawing workshop or as a standalone workshop. Day One will consist of demonstrations and exercises and editing and recomposing sketch book work, building up a collection of collage drawings with new interesting compositions and developing further drawings from this material to reflect your  personal response to the landscape that can be developed further into painting. Day Two will continue with demonstrations and colour and mark making exercises and one to one tuition as  your painting develops. Location, Brindiwell Studio. Tea and coffee provided please bring a pack lunch drawing and painting materials,  reference sketchbooks and any reference drawings, photographs etc. you wish to work from.  I suggest you work in acrylics.  Additional materials will be provided.
