Suitable for all levels, including beginners.
Inspired by the 'Matisse in his Studio’ exhibition, we will be creating simple still life set ups in the studio, bringing a sense of domestic space, though props, objects, fabrics and furniture. The way objects inhabit a space can be so evocative, suggesting something that has, or is about to happen, a half drunk cup, an open book. Still life has also been used by artists as a simple, manageable subject with which to play with much more universal themes, the play of light on forms, the effect of colour and pattern in a composition.

Course Dates: April 28th- May 2nd 2025 (Monday - Friday)
This 5 day course will begin by taking you on a journey through the process of making drawings and studies whilst moving through the landscape of the South Downs. You will travel light with a range of materials, that will be provided for you, that enable you to make playful mixed media explorations. They are not plans for paintings but a compilation of things seen, felt, heard. Two days in the landscape will be followed by three days in the studio using this material to start to develop a series of paintings. Back in the studio Emily will demonstrate the many possibilities that paint can offer. She will help with the process of unpacking the potential from the studies and get everyone working on 3 – 4 paintings. You will navigate the path that the paintings may want to take and keep a playful sense of engagement.

There is an idea that when we view a landscape painting without a human figure we imaginatively project ourselves into the painted space. And so the work becomes about our relationship with the landscape and whoever or whatever created it. If we put a figure in it the whole dynamic changes, now we wonder what the figure is thinking, doing, what is their relationship with their surroundings and what is ours to them. No small thing! In Freidrich’s ‘Monk by the Sea’ don’t we wonder what the monk thinking about?

Course Dates: 30th June- 4th July 2025 (Monday - Friday)
This 5 day painting course takes its inspiration from Highdown Garden near Worthing, a unique chalk garden on the Downs. This garden is beautiful and remarkable. In the unlikely setting of a chalk pit the founders of the garden sourced plants from all over the world that would thrive in this habitat. It is a garden full of delights; mature trees and plants, winding pathways that lead to open spaces where you can sit and drink in the sites, sounds and smells. Long summer days are the time to celebrate the colour and abundance of nature. The first 2 days of the course are spent in the garden making lots of studies capturing the experience of this peaceful and inspiring place. The rest of the week is spent at the Seawhite studio where ambitious and expressive paintings will be created using these studies and our memories of the place.
