'Getting Adventurous'
Acrylic and drawing mediums.
It will be a fun explorative guided day mixing paint juxtaposed with more graphic mediums.
Suitable for beginner or experienced.
Using sketches or photos you have of landscape (or welcome to simply use references I will bring), we will have some fun looking for shapes, creating textures and layering to create expressive, responses to the landscape. Working on paper we will be free to tear, re-arrange and expand our works.
The day will be guided and there will be lots of time for one-to-one with the tutor.
We will look at classic juxtapositions that make a painting exciting - composition, dark and light, focal points, mixing and choosing palette of colours and placing which next to what. Thickness/thinness of paint; softness next to hard defining lines. How to add expressive mark making and let go a little!

Summer 2021 update
Ongoing explorations
As artists we are always exploring different medium and methods of working. Summer 2021 saw an intensive period of collaborative work on the Big Brush Art project when we were given a large space as a pilot residency by Black Swan Arts for July and August.
Big Brush Art is a collaborative project with Sarah Ball using domestic sweeping brushes on large canvas on the floor. Call and response method of working.
