Upcoming Workshops

Join visiting artist Rebecca as she demonstrates using soft pastels and charcoal to capture life and movement with figures in street scenes, landscapes and on the beach. Following this expert demonstration you will create quick sketches, in charcoal and pastel pencil of the human figure in motion. The final stage is to place these figures in street scenes and landscapes, using colour with soft pastels. Rebecca will be on hand to offer expert one-to-one support while you put new techniques into practice and experiment with all the possibilities of Pastels.

Come and have fun painting a variety of subjects with watercolour artist, Kaye Parmenter, and experiment with many ways to loosen up with your watercolour painting. Subjects may include a selection of subject matters including flowers, animals, landscapes, skies and birds.

Join Judi for this experimental workshop in acrylic ink and watercolour paint. You will produce 2 studies over the course of a day using black or brown ink before adding watercolours. Students can hope to produce at least 2 studies, the first with a constructed approach and the second much looser. You will learn how to use the ink on wet and dry paper, drawing with it using different implements and mark making before watercolour is applied over the top to produce a final result.

This workshop is aimed at artists who would like to build their confidence in watercolour painting. Ashley will guide you through different techniques, encouraging you to develop your own style to produce vibrant and expressive work with a focus on depth and colour.
