Exciting work from Colour and Texture workshop

Sally Baldwin

My Working with oils - Colour and Texture Workshop on Friday 18th October

 included a group of both professional and amateur artists who were keen to learn new skills to enhance their own practice.  Several of the students hadn't worked in oils before and  they enjoyed the experience of exploring the qualities of the medium and investigating different techniques of applying the paint to the canvas and creating a varied range of marks.

Hilary Barclay


After experimenting with colour mixing exercises in the morning, the students choose a limited colour palette for each of the 2 paintings they worked on. The paintings drew reference from drawings of the landscape produced during the day and also from their own drawings and photographs.

Sarah Acock





The objective was for students to have a new approach to painting by exploring how to mix a unique range of colours and building up layers of paint using a variety of tools with which to make different marks, including palette knives, rollers, rags, sticks, hands as well as a range of different types of brushes.




Gill Mitchell




The results at the end of this very full on day were stunning and individual with each students pushing the boundaries of their comfort zones to create new and exciting work.

I will be repeating this workshop early in the new year. for more information

Successful Colour in the Landscape 2 Day Workshop

Our 2 day Colour in the Landscape Workshop with Ashley Hanson on Friday 9th and Saturday 10th March was a great success.  A mixture of professional artists, students and  people getting back into their practice attended the workshop.  The group focused on making the transition from observational drawing in the landscape, exploring methods of abstracting the subject matter to create work in oils and acrylics, investigating colour, mark making and line. In the final critique it was fasinating to compare the different approaches to the same subject matter.  Everyone came away from the workshop equipped to further inform their practice.  We will be running further workshops with Ashley later in the year please get in contact if you are interested. Spaces are limited to 10 people.  sara@honeycombanimation.co.uk


Ashley carries out his own workshops in Cornwall and is also running two, 5 day residential painting holidays this year. For more information go to http://ashleyhansonart.blogspot.com/
