Still Life. Drawing and development of a painting.

Wandsworth community Centre Sat 11th August 2018 10 am—4.30 pm. £35

This workshop will encourage you to observe and ‘break down’ a single still life arrangement step by step. You will make a series of studies observing individual elements such as line, space and colour. This information will allow you to understand your subject and develop a complete painting. We will look at the paintings of some important artists who used still life as subject matter.

Developing Abstract Paintings ( Various media)

Wandsworth community Centre , Sat 25th August 2018 10 am—4.30 pm. £35

Following the popularity of last year’s ‘Abstract painting’ workshop, this session will introduce you to even more ways of developing images into abstract paintings! It will also introduce you to some important abstract artists of the 20th century.

I will explain some of the methods which we can use to change the images we observe into new and interesting forms, colours and surfaces. You will experiment with different ways of using paint, and other materials.

We will find out about (and be inspired by) the work of artists like Elsworth Kelly and Nicholas de Stael .

This workshop is designed to give you more knowledge about where ‘Abstract’ painting came from and also more confidence to try new approaches to your own painting.
