On drawing days, we will all sketch our own composition and will then get as far through the painting stages as time allows. The emphasis here is on composition, perspective and tonal values.
On painting days, you will be encouraged to use one of my compositions
to speed up the drawing process, and so leave as much time as possible
in the day for actual painting.
Once the drawing is on, I paint a bit, then you paint a bit and the
painting builds up in "bite-sized" stages until complete. Your painting
will not be an "original", but you will be encouraged to paint freely,
and will always end up with your own version - not a paint by numbers
copy! The aim is to improve your techniques, widen your experience and
increase your confidence in handling the medium.
For the more experienced, these can develop nicely into D.I.Y. days
where you can produce "original" works with helpful(?) suggestions from me.
This D.I.Y. approach is especially useful where you wish to exhibit and
sell your paintings.
All workshop days run from 10.30am to 4pm. Please try to arrive up to
15 minutes early to get settled and grab the important first cup of
coffee!
Tea and coffee will be provided, but bring a packed lunch - I'll share
my paints, but you don't get my sandwiches!
Cost for each day is £16 plus paper / material costs - usually £1.50
These workshop days can be designed to suit your art group, here at the studio, or in your local hall - please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
