EOS and Workshop Review

Review of my 2 day Colour and Texture in the Landscape Workshop  

Alison

Rebecca

Day 1. We were lucky with the weather on the first day of the Colour and Texture  in the Landscape Workshop and the Artists who participated were able to spend the morning drawing in the beautiful mid Devon landscape attempting to capture the breathtaking panoramic views.  In the afternoon I carried out some demonstrations on how to create a unique colour palette  from just a few tubes of paint.  The group explored creating different textures and marks from a variety tools and by the end of the first afternoon

Jane, Ruth and Frannie

they had 2 canvases covered in a variety marks and a personally created colour range.

Day 2. The day started with time spent reflecting on and developing ideas from the first days drawings and finding links between them and the intuitive marks made on their canvases.
 I demonstrated how I build up my paintings in layers with a range of dfferent marks, leaving some areas of bare canvas and exposing previous layers by scraping back paint and scratching through.

The group explored these techniques in their paintings learning  that time spent in thinking and reflecting on the next stage is as important as the painting process.

 Here are some of the outcomes.

 I will be carrying out a Colour Coast and Texture 2 day Workshop in May which will be one day on location and a day in the Studio.

‘Freedom in Painting’ with the Life-Model

The life-room is a special place for artists, and links artists working today with those of the past.Working from the model is a timeless, challenging and essential discipline and the aim of this 2 day workshop is to build on observational drawing skills and follow the journey from drawing into painting. We shall explore line, form, composition and mark-making in both drawing and painting to produce our own personal interpretations of the human figure.

Drawing, drawing, drawing....

 Great Drawing weekend at Dartmoor Arts with Laurie Steen and Paul Thomas who set up the Jerwood Drawing competition. Two very different approaches. Laurie focused on observational and shadow drawing using a variety of drawing materials. Paul Thomas focused on subjective drawing on a large scale 4ft by 5ft using only charcoal and an eraser, creating a series of different marks and building up one drawing based on our subconscious influences and experiences over a period of 7 hours.  

10th November Drawing from the Heart with Louise Watkins 

The theme Louise has chosen for this workshop is based around the mysterious Japanese aesthetic Wabi Sabi, The opulence of late Autumn is the perfect time for exploring this elusive and rich concept, …. the Japanese art of finding beauty in the natural passing of time.  See earlier blog for more details. 

The day runs from 9.30am - 5pm and includes tuition, life model, all art materials and equipment, refreshments and a delicious lunch. Cost £50.00 To book a place contact   HERE

Ashley Hanson,s Life Drawing Workshops in St Breward, Cornwall

Laurie Steen Workshop 1st October 2012

........  a time for observation,

Using objects from nature for our subjects, we will delve into observational drawing, gesture drawing, shadow drawing and 1:1 drawing; while experimenting with different drawing mediums. The process could be intimate and observational but could also expand into personal and explorative drawings that become recordings of the encounter and experience. We will also hopefully tap into our history and connection to nature and use this to nurture and push our own figuration within the landscape. The process of which is fundamental to drawing. This day might inspire if you have been wanting to move from drawing the figure to drawing within the landscape.

Monday 1st October 9.30am - 4.30pm lunch and materials included £45.00
